Cost of extra RAM for newer MacBook Pro.

I'm considering (checking my budget) buying a new MacBook Pro 15" for my wife. As she also needs to access some Windows programs, I want to bump the 4GB to 8GB. Does anyone know the cost for the extra RAM?
Pete F.

Hi Pete,
4GB RAM modules are still quite expensive.
MacSales sells 8GB (2x 4GB) for USD 277.99 for example with the opportunity to trade-in the 'old' modules.

    does installing aftermarket RAM into new macbook pro non-retina void apple warranty

    Only for the RAM which should be covered by the manufacturers/vendors warranty.  Now if you damage the MBP while installing the RAM then you may find yourself voiding the MBP warranty.  But ir does take a lot to do that.

    Im thinking about buying OWC ram for my macbook pro but dont know if it will have negative affects on my computer, should i do it?

    Only if you install it wrong or use the wrong RAM.

    Use the free Crucil.com checker to doublecheck if you need too.
    You don't want Apple to do it, they quoted me $435 to upgrade $70 worth of RAM.
    Do it yourself or have a local geek friend (PC or Mac) do it, it's not hard, unles you got bad eyesight and can't see the tiny screws. Use a catch mat, follow proper anti-static and handling. (touch only plastic)
    Break something inside, your on your own though. No warranty coverqge or AppleCare for self inflicted damage.

  • HDD vs SSD for new MacBook Pro and FCP editing performance

    I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro and I'm curious about performance as it relates to large FCP projects. I'm looking to hear from folks who can help me determine if a solid state drive (SSD) would be worth the extra cost. I edit large FCP projects and I'm curious if using a SSD would be the way to go. Will I get better editing performance with a SSD as opposed to the 7200 RPM HDD?
    Thanks!

    As a boot drive, SSDs have exceedingly last fast access times, and great data throughput rates. My Crucial SSD has a write read of about 200 MB/s. I can boot in under four seconds, and access apps, and web sites pretty **** fast.
    However, beyond this, I don't see any real, substantial or dramatic gains in editing performance at all as a boot drive. I'd save your money on get more RAM, and best CPU and GPU you can afford.

  • Is there no external power option for new MacBook pro with dual core?

    Is there no external power option for a MacBook pro 17 with dual core. Apparently apple doesn't offer one and I can't ind any who does

    Courcoul wrote:
    Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
    The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
    made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
    I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
    What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector.

  • IMac or wait for new MacBook Pro 2013 or 2014?

    I have a mid 2007 iMac model, and my PC laptop recently died- I am debating right now as to whether I should buy the iMac 2013 since it was recently updated or just wait for the MacBook Pro update said to be released sometime this month. I'm in need of a new computer for sure and can last for a bit on my iMac (it's staring to get really slow). I personally would want a MacBook Pro so I could bring it to school/classes but also going to partition it play some PC Games (they're not that graphic hungry, just TERA, MMO's).
    I was considering to get the 2013 iMac now and wait until next year for the rumored Sharp IGZO MacBook Pro coming out early 2014 sometime during the summer before next school semester starts. That being said, I don't want to risk the 2014 pro not releasing until AFTER the school semester.
    My second option (the safer route) is to wait for the new 2013 MacBook Pro to release this month (hopefully) and that would be the end of it.
    I just want to get the most out of my money as well as the reassurance that it would be energy efficient, durable to last for the rest of my college years. Thanks!

    So how long is your college course?
    The latest MacBook Pros have just been released. No need to wait any longer!

  • Free Upgrade To Lion For New MacBook Pro Shipped With Snow Leopard?

  • Which firewire cable for new MacBook Pro and Canon HV20?

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer video from my Canon HV20 camcorder (using FinalCut Express). The Canon instructions say to use a "DV cable" and I've learned that the MacBook Pro only has an "800 fire wire" port. Can someone give me the exact type of cable that I should get (even my local Apple Store couldn't help me).
    Thanks!

    I'm surprised that the folks at the Apple Store couldn't guide you. You just need a firewire cable with the proper fw400 connector on one end and a fw800 connector on the other. Here's one source for both cables and adapters:

  • Bootcamp or parallels for new macbook pro user

    I am about to make the switch from pc and purchase one of the new macbook pros that came out today. I don't fully understand how bootcamp and parallels work yet and which would be better for my needs.
    I am an architect and will need to run windows for 3d modeling and rendering occasionally. Most likely I will have to use XP pro since Vista isn't yet supported in my work environment. Although I am used to pc operating systems, I think most of the rest of my work could be done using a mac os. Ideally, I would be able to use both simultaneously, but I have heard that parallels is slow.
    any thoughts would be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    personally I don't use Fusion but Parallels.
    Both claim that they can use an existing BootCamp Windows partition for creating their Virtual Machines.
    However there are a lot of postings that this worked for one and that this has destroyed the BootCamp Windows for others.
    For myself I have a BootCamp Windows XP and Parallels with an old Windows 2000 I had lying around.
    If you let Fusion use your BootCamp Windows for creating its VM, then there should be no need to reinstall the Windows programs, although it could happen that you have the reenter serial numbers for these programs.
    A reformat is not neccessary since Fusion puts the Virtual machine (which in fact consists of 2-3 files) on your OSX partition.
    Given the fact that you most certainly need a BootCamp Windows in order to run your architecture programs, I would propose to this first.

  • Where can i find ram for 13" macbook pro mid 2009?

    I upgraded from 2G to 4G 2-3 years ago. Now I'd like to go to 8G, but Apple doesn't appear to be selling it anymore.
    Any suggestions for a reliable 3rd party solution?
    Here's a few specs of my Macbook Pro:
    MacBook Pro
    13-inch, Mid 2009
    Processor  2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Thanks,
    Ty

    Thanks very much!
    Crucial looks good. Can't believe how inexpensive RAM has gotten for this MAC!
    I also saw they have a Seagate 1TB internal hard-drive for $105?
    http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Apple/macbook-pro-%2813-inc h%2C-mid-2009%29
    Considering I only have 160gb internal right now, that's pretty hard to pass up too.

  • Is it worth Waiting for New MacBook Pro 2012..

    I just got a new Macbook Pro , is it worth waiting till next 2012 when the new one comes out ?
    Any idea what the new would look like in terms for configuration and design..

    Thanks Shootist007,
    I can customise my phone, tablet and mediaplayer as I like (thanks to the guys from XDA), it syncs and streams between my tablet and media player. I can integrate and transfer files, messages, contacts, etc between my phone, wifi media player and tablet without being stuck to an itunes interface.  No funny apple conversion/compression tools required for viewing files across platforms, etc. It comes with most programs i use by default, hence no need to get much special or full version apps from the google market place.  Dont get me wroing, Im not shooting down Apple, I just look forward to the day, they offer such functionality by default.
    I dont mind not having usb 3, so thats ok, quite like thunderbolt.  Its the retina display, and HD type that Im more concerned about.  And rumours of them doing away with a dvd drive, I still wud like to have one, even in this day and age of wireless/cloud everything.  Im sure by June, I would defintely have enought saved away for a 15"/17" model.
    Yip, my iTunes library is a mess, only because I started it all wrong, having music folders all over the place, hence I need my own laptop to consolidate and start a fresh itunes library on a fresh laptop.  Also since its a work laptop, I often have to delete stuff for space reasons.
    Yes, as an IT Auditor I understand the concept of buying tech today, and by tommorrow its old :-)
    Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it very much, and Im really keen to make the crossover to Apple (as 90% of my friends all have Apple macs or macbooks), then hopefiully I will crossover to the iphone, tablet, etc.
