After installing the new RAM and rebooting my Mac, the system recognized the update instantaneously (and yes, it is significantly faster!)
#HOW TO BUY A 16GB RAM MACBOOK PRO UPGRADE#
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. One of the most asked questions on all Mac forums is whether it is ok to buy a MacBook Pro with just 8GB or it would be better to upgrade to at least 16GB. 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). Apples high-end 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro offers the M1 Pro chip with 16GB of RAM as standard, but you can upgrade to 32GB of RAM for 400.

The SSD will make your MacBook Pro a lot faster, will give you greater battery life, and will have a lesser chance of crashing compared to your stock HDD. I bought the latest MacBook Pro 15 last week (Intel 2.6 i7, 750GB HD, and 8GB RAM out of the box). Your MacBook Pro doesnt use much more than 4GB of RAM with normal processes, and music/video editing will work well enough with 8GB.
