Please update the specs for the MacBook Pro - 8GB RAM Max

Hello,
Someone needs to upgrade the specifications for the MacBook Pro now that 4GB laptop SoDIMMs are shipping and compatible with the MacBook Pro.
See my blogpost on the subject at http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/07/05/testing-my-apple-macbook- pro-with-8gb-of-ram.aspx.
Thanks,

Hello again,
Regarding having them update the specs, one can dream. Dreams are free. LOL. Hopefully the memory makers will update their specs as more makers start supporting a large memory configuration.
The 4GB sticks I am using are http://shop.kingston.com/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KTL-TP667/4G
I did not do an extended test of the sticks in my MBP. Their home is in the ThinkPad I have because it is running Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.
As you can see from the link above, these little suckers are pricey. But consider the price of 2GB SoDIMMs were $950 when they entered the market a couple of years ago. The price will drop.
I asked the Kingston rep that sent these to me if online sites like newegg.com would have them soon. She indicated no, but the corporate buying sites like CDW and Zone would. So check around. They just started shipped a couple of weeks ago so be patient.
If you have any other questions, please stop by http://blogs.technet.com/keithcombs/archive/2008/07/05/testing-my-apple-macbook- pro-with-8gb-of-ram.aspx and ask there. I'll see them much more quickly.

  • Does Apple have a record of the tech specs for my Macbook Pro?

    I recently had my Macbook reparied. I know I had 8 gigs of RAM and it was returned to me with only 4 gigs RAM. Does Apple keep a record of tech specs for my Macbook Pro? ( 15 inch Mid July 2012).

    Was it the Apple Store where you had it repaired? Otherwise you'd have to go back to the repair place where you had the work done.

    If you purchased it w/ the 8 GB from Apple the info would be linked to your serial number.

  • The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions?

    The battery for my macbook pro 13 says "service battery".  Now I want to get a replacement but the reviews for it are horrible! Does anybody have any suggestions? I don't want to spend 130 dollars on something I'm going to have to replace in less than a year (which is what normally I been reading)  I do design work and I take my mac everywhere.  Having to always look for a plug or having to be constantly plugged in doesn't sound ideal to me.  Please help me. what should I do???

    Why does it matter if it a scam????? I'll let you figure that out by yourself.  If I'm going to replace it, why should I be contempt with a battery that I have to replace within months (as stated by some people in the comments). The issue here is not if I should or not replace it OBVIOUSLY I'm going to have to before it starts going crazy.  The underlying issue is why is the replacement battery for a lack of better words " a bit crap."  It comes with a 3 month guarantee?? Is that a joke?!??!?! Some people complained it malfunction after only 8- 9 months? I'm sorry but as an Apple fan I think it's absolutely rubbish. I know there is no magic cure I'm just hoping someone shines the light on how crappy this replacement is.

  • How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro ?

    How do I check the Specs on my Macbook pro to make sure i have what i ordered? THe last time I wanted the SATA 7200rpm but they sent me the 5400. How do I see this on my mac? can't seem to find it.

    Here is something i copied from another forum site that could answer your question-
    Look in your "System Profiler", you can find it using Spotlight or looking for it in the Utilities folder, which is in your Applications folder.
    This will give you the model number, which you will then have to find online (probably using Google) to find out what speed that particular model number is.
    Then again, someone might have an easier answer.
    "That's exactly what I did. My MacBook Pro has a Seagate Momentus ST9160823AS Drive in it. Running that model number, it shows a 7200 RPM speed."

    Guys, i am actually trying using a solution provided by the article shared by dominic23,
    It says "Another option is to get an ionizer to help the atmosphere in the workplace be more conductive and pull charges away from contact surfaces, including yourself."
    So in my home, we have such device that could clean the air using ion, and i am using it in my room...
    Result: BANG!!! The electric shock on my macbook has gone!! I don't really care about physics but somehow it works! You guys should give it a try.
    Thanks again dominic23

  • HT204347 is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found?

    Is there any other place that the serial # for a MacBook Pro can be found. I purchased this on Ebay and it functioned fine for 6 months and then it comes on with a blank screen.

    On mine at least, it's etched into the bottom cover. It's very tiny and on the screen hinge side of the casing.

  • I just got an old apple mac mini a1103. i found out it comes without a power adapter. What are the specs for the power adapter

    can some one tell me the specs for the power adapter. Is there  a manual available somewher on apple site for this computer?

    Hi lllaass,
    Thanks for your great answer.
    That website link is for a1105. Is it same as a1103?
    Also would you know if the power connection port is simlar to the one for appletv? I have an apple tv from 2007 which no longer works. Perhaps I can use that to power the mini.
    Thanks again!

    I am thinking about purchasing a ChugPlug for my MacBook Pro. The suppliers, Lenmar tell me that it will work on any 13" MacBook Pro as long as it is a 45 or 60 watt MacBook.
    How do I find out the wattage, please?
