Apple Macbook Pro 17 Memory Upgrade

[CL13] I very recently purchased a new Mac Pro 6-Core D700. Spending the money (hopefully) where it counts! Ha ha... After some googling around I came to the conclusion that I should aim for the least amount of RAM from Apple as possible, because it's really the simplest component to upgrade yourself and Apple charges an extra $ or so dollars for 64GB of their RAM v.s. an upgrade kit like this OWC! It was really a no-brainer. Anyway, it's been about 3 weeks with this memory and I have to say that I have really been enjoying it :) I'd recommend it for sure. If you know you're going to need some serious memory for multi-tasking or just intensive programs. There's not a better upgrade kit out there! OWC even sends a little tool to help you access the Mac Pro memory where Apple would just suggest using your fingers. Forget using fingers! This Mac is a 5k investment, LOL, I'm gonna treat it with some respect. Much-o thanks for the tool OWC! :D

[0.25 lb] I needed to upgrade the memory on my 13 MacBook Pro and these are just right. I installed the memory myself and they fit like a glove so it was very simple. My MacBook Pro recognized the memory automatically and without any problems. It is so much faster now--I couldn't be happier!

[Full-Stop] I purchased this to make an external boot drive for my 2015 MacBook Pro. This device is probably the fastest way to add external storage to my machine since the Thunderbolt 2 ports are far faster than the USB3 ports. Since this Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is self-powered, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter in reverse, making full use of the MacBook's Thunderbolt 2 port and getting super fast transfer speeds, making it suitable for use as a boot drive. I don't have any benchmark utilities, but I copied a large VMware image from the internal Apple SSD to an external 2TB FireCuda 530 and saw an Activity Monitor peak write speed of 1.6GB/sec, which is super fast. The case gets a little warm, but that means that it is effectively sinking heat from the M2 drive. I used this to successfully build and test a system upgrade to Mojave, and will continue to use this to occasionally run modern OS versions that I don't want to permanently upgrade to due to software compatibility issues with old apps I still need to run. Right now, it's Velcro'ed to the laptop lid and holds a 1TB drive waiting to test Catalina, so I can see which apps break before deciding if I want to take the plunge. All in all, it's perfect as an external drive for my older MacBook Pro, it's well priced, and extremely well constructed. I'll continue to use it for the rest of the life of this machine, and it'll still be useful if I upgrade to a more modern machine later.

[DDR3] Cheap way to upgrade your macbook pro!

[Pushbutton] This works perfectly with my old Apple HD Display and my new MacBook Pro.

[0.095 lb] I upgraded MacBook Pro mid2012 HD to this one, and performance also got upgrade!

[1.5 V] I have use it to upgrade my old MacBook Pro mid 2010. works perfectly.

[1.095 lb] Just installed this battery on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro 17". Followed directions for installing on a YouTube video for this model. The battery came with tools so it was very easy to install. I followed the product's instructions for calibrating the new battery. I'm getting about 4 to 5 hours of use with this battery. I don't use the laptop on battery that often but it's good to know I have more time when needed (was getting about 20 minutes on the old original battery). Hopefully the usage time of the battery will last for a while.

[Steel Alloy] I'm using this on my standing office desk with a 17 MacBook Pro laptop. The height range seems reasonable, and although the tilt angle is fixed, it seems okay. The stand feels sturdy. I put it together backwards (with the brackets facing out instead of in) which better accommodates the width of my laptop. Office phone fits underneath no problem. I use it with a Bluetooth keyboard, and I'm so keyboard-centric that reaching up for the track pad when needed hasn't been too much of a hassle yet. I'm using this at a fixed work station. Taking it apart for mobile applications could be feasible, but it would take a minute.

[8 TB] I have a very old MacBook Pro 17 mid 2009. The SSD was perfect for it. Sped up internet processing, acquiring HD files. Was able to install it myself. Formatted for APFS. Jim, happy customer
