Can I upgrade past 8 GB of RAM
So I got a new laptop and its sort of slow and can't handle what I'm doing with it well. So I wanted to upgrade it and I went online and on the Apple website it said that max amount of RAM is 8GB. I currently have 4 GB of RAM. So I looked further and a lot of people said I could upgrade to 16 GB of RAM rather than the 8GB it says on the Apple website. So I'm here to get an answer: Is the max amount of RAM 16 GB or 8GB. I have a "13 mid-2012 MacBook Pro thanks in advance.
