Q: Adding RAM to MacBook Pro 13-inch without retina

Hey,

 

I want to buy a MacBook Pro 13-inch without Retina. The description says I can buy the version with 4 or 8 GB RAM, but I would like to have 16, at least. Is it possible to put 16 GB RAM on a MacBook Pro 13-inch without Retina?

 

Let me know, thanks!

MacBook Pro

    If this is the 2012 non-Retina model, then you can install 16GBs of RAM, but not through Apple. So buy the 4GB model then visit OWC to purchase two 8GB modules to replace the two that come with it.

    Maximum Memory16 GB (Actual) 8 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots2 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM

    The above is for the 2012 non-Retina 13" model.
