Which RAM should I buy? MBP13 Mid-2012

Hi to everyone and thanks for your help. I have a MacBook Pro 13" and I want to upgrade RAM to 16 GB. I found 2 offers in Amazon: a Crucial for 134 dollars and a Kingston HyperX for 159 dollars. I would like to know the differences between these 2 memories, and if really in terms of performance the Kingston HyperX is better.

Oh my Gosh!
Did remus just recommend overclocked memory! 
+1 for the memory as well.

    The price doesnt matter to me - i just want to know whether they would fit or not. Im using a Late 2011 MBP.
    PS: Does the manufacturer of the Memory have anything to say at this point? Which one would you decide?
    Thomas Bojsen

    Both Crucial and Kingston are long standing quality makers of RAM (not merely resllers, but actual manufacuters of their own RAM)
    I would suggest going to
    www.crucial.com
    www.kingston.com
    And look up your specfic Apple machine model to get the SODIMM module parts numbers directly from them.  That way you will know specifically which modules to shop for at other web stores.  Both companies offer lifetime warranties, so just be sure the module part # you are ordering is one the company itself lists as meeting or exceeding Apple's specs for RAM and you should be fine.

    In general most macs you buy are the same. If you will be doing quite a lot of editing of photos and videos, then the big things to look for are:
    Processor - 2.8ish GHz Intel i7 4-core - is about the best I have head of thus far.
    RAM - fairly easy to upgrade yourself, but 16GB is typically more than you will need for the next 5 years at least.
    iLife is reasonably good software for editing media, but as a photographer, you may have your own prefered software
    The good thing about Apple is that they don't sell ****** computers in general. They offer little in the way of customization of hardware which is both their strength and weakness.

  • I'm 51 years old and recently retired. I have a new IPad Air. Which MacBook should I buy to go with it?  I don't understand flash storage.  It feels like I would have a bunch of flash drives to keep up with.  Help an old lady out!!!

    Depends on how you want to use it. Flash storage on the newer macbook and macbook air are built in. A macbook air is the most light weight and a very good machine. It will do all you want it to do unless you are running some very intensive programs. If you go to the apple store on line you can compare  the different macbook pro" and macbook Air's.

  • Which PC should I buy?

    Hello~
    I want to buy a desktop PC or an All-in-one PC recently, but I don't know which one should I buy?
    I have a monitor and keyboard+mouse, maybe Nightblade B85 or Z97 is suitable for me, but is it have wireless network? 
    According to that, I consider maybe All-in-one PC is more convenient, but I love to play World Warcraft and Diablo III, is it can support to play these games?

    both has WiFi:

    http://www.msi.com/product/desktop/Nightblade-Z97.html#hero-overview
    Z97 is the better option if the extra $$ is not issue for you.
    Else:
    You can get an MSI's Gaming AIO depend of your taste:

    Look, any officially unlocked GSM iPhone will work in India. You purchase from Dubai, no FaceTime, and Dubai is part of the UAE. You purchase anywhere but India, and you will have NO warranty or support. Frankly, doesn't make any sense to me why you want to do this...and don't bother telling me you save hundreds of dollars...still doesn't make any sense. Do a forum search here. We get posts daily, from users in India, who didn't purchase their iPhones in India...guess what? They all have problems. You want to join that bunch? It's your money, have at it.

    which product should I buy? I want to create vintage/retro posters for band and Bar

    Good day!
    Instead of buying right away you may want to avail yourself of the free 30 day trial first to see which program fits your needs.
    Photoshop and Photoshop Elements may be worth a try.
    If you intend to create more graphic/typographic designs Illustrator may be worth looking into, too.
    Someone else may have more/other recommendations, though.

    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

  • I want to buy a mac and i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy

    actually i am new to mac so i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy? i will be installing windows 2 on it..

    An MBA is a portable while an iMac is a desktop and is not portable. You could install Windows on either provided each had sufficient memory installed and a large enough hard drive. The iMac is better equipped for this from the outset, but the MBA can be adequately configured if you are willing to spend the money to do so.
