So, should you get 16GB for your MacBook Pro, Mac mini, or iMac? If you’re starting to work a lot with video editing, playing a lot of games, or you do a lot of complicated work with many apps and windows open on your Mac, by all means, max it out with 16GB of memory. Note: Old Apple online documentation says they will only support up to 8GB, but third-party memory manufacturers have been able to create two 8GB memory modules that pair up to make 16GB of memory that function at full capacity. While I believe that most people will get by with 8GB of memory on 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Pros, MacBook Pros dating back to 2011 will actually support up to 16GB of memory.

Plus, when you upgrade your Mac with a super-fast SSD flash-based drive, your Mac will feel like a whole new machine. While Apple has made strides in memory management on Macs, 8GB will give you the general-purpose breathing room you want. It’s the difference between knowing when to buy a dump truck and when to buy a pickup truck.įor most people, 4GB is the absolute least amount of memory you want to be using in 2014 on a relatively new Mac, and 8GB is much better. The question, though, is how much memory do you really need on a MacBook Pro? Or on a Mac mini or on an iMac? While more is almost always better, some people simply won’t use it. If you like to run a lot of open applications at the same time - switching back and forth between them - more memory can help your Mac feel snappier. More memory will let your applications run without needing to access storage for additional information quite so often.

I recommend Crucial Memory for any MAC do-it-yourselfer user.If you have an Apple MacBook Pro that could use a little extra kick in the pants, you can upgrade your memory, which some people still call RAM.
CRUCIAL MEMORY FOR MAC MINI 2012 UPDATE
After installing the new RAM and rebooting my Mac, the system recognized the update instantaneously (and yes, it is significantly faster!) I wanted to take advantage of that speed by updating the RAM from 8GB installed out of the box to 16GB of after market memory.īecause of the ease upgrading my iMac 27 to 16GB with Crucial Memory, I stuck with Crucial Memory for the MacBook 15 RAM upgrade to 16GB (cost was $125 + shipping).

What was a deal maker for me was that RAM speed capability has been bumped up to 1600 MHz. The latest MacBook Pro 15 has many superb updates from the previous model.

There are benefits for being in The Davenport Projex :-) I now own this MacBook Pro 15, iPhone 5, iPad (3rd gen.), and a 2011 iMac 27 - My wife has an iPhone 5, iPad Mini, and MacBook Air 13 (which I gave her with this recent MacBook 15 purchase - only 6 months of use) - My daughter has the iPhone 5, iPad (2nd gen - which I gave to her after about 6 months of use), and a MacBook Pro13 (which I gave her when heading to college this past Fall - getting the MacBook Air 13 for myself as a replacement). I bought the latest MacBook Pro 15 last week (Intel 2.6 i7, 750GB HD, and 8GB RAM out of the box).
