Great and easy products,
My Mac mini late 2012 from 2x2gb to 2x4gb went super fast, now I want 2x8gb same brand, really suggest to buy this product!
Great service, fast and efficient. Memory is as described, worked and recognised by my 27″iMac. Taken the memory from 8GB to 24GB.
Excellent and great value for money! It gave a new lease of life to my Macbook Pro Mid 2012. I upgraded from 8gb to 16gb and added a new SSD and it now runs like a dream! Recommended!
Absolutely compatible with mac mini (late 2012) , easy to install, excellent value for money!
Very easy to install and compatible. Amazing product. Highly recommended
Great upgrade to my ageing mid 2012 MacBook Pro which I couldn’t bear to part with. Installed the memory (16gb) 2 days ago and so far so good, noticed a significant speed improvement and start up time. Everything seems to run more smoothly. Item arrived 2 days early which was great. One thing I will say is make sure you have the correct screwdriver to take the back case off as for mine it’s a Phillips #00 but for the late 2012 retina model it’s different. Just check beforehand. I found one online for a couple of quid and once I had that the install was easy to do (about 5 mins)
I should have added these to my 8GB base memory long ago. I now have 24 GB. Very easy to install on my 27′ ‘Late 2013’ iMac, which now powers along very fast, like a brand-new machine. A brilliant investment: I thought I needed a new iMac for speed but this did the trick on all fronts: Word, internet, photos, etc.
Extra memory for my iMac needed.
Arrived quickly, well packaged and protected.
Popped in and restart.. perfect and great price too.
After owning my late 2013 for almost 7 years it was finally time to upgrade the RAM to something more up to the task of 2020 applications.
The ram dimms came well protected in a plastic case and then an amazon box.
Installing the RAM took less than a five minutes on my 27 inch model – thanks to apple use of a hidden door on the back which grants access to the RAM cage – there are plenty of videos of installation should you need assistance.
I am using these two Timetec dimms in conjunction with my the two 4gb dimms provided by Apple. This has brought my iMac total ram up to 24gb (16gb + 8gb from Apple). This system is now tonnes faster and applications load more efficiently.
Don’t think that this cheaper Timetec brand is going to do any less than branded alternatives – The chips on the Timetec ram are genuine SK Hynix chips which is the same brand used by apple.
Highly recommend and an easy recommendation to anyone with an iMac.
These two 4 gig rams saved me from buying a new Mac. My Mac runs so much better from what it was.
Arrived on time. Easily fitted, following Apple’s instructions. Computer worked first time and shows some improvement in speed. Hopefully it will last awhile unlike the experience of others. Could give 5 stars but only had it a few days.
Works perfectly fine. I have not had any issues as yet.
Sorted MacBook Pro update issues, arrived promptly & did the job
Perfect for my old iMac 5k from 2014. This memory upgrade gave it the little boost that it needed in a long while. Installation is super easy, had no issues at all. Just make sure it’s compatible with your Mac model before purchasing. 5 out of 5!
Fitted no problem did see a performance increase while using editing software
Amazing difference in the performance of my iMac. I am not at all techy but this was super easy to install. Worked so well I ordered another one for my last spare memory slot.
Very good took ten minutes to add them to my iMac and they work very good. I would recommend these.
Easy to fit once you google where the catch is to open the memory hatch.
Amazing I really notice the difference in my Mac book pro easy to install I watched you tube video
Brought this to upgrade my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro from the base 4gb to 8gb, I had another set of ram sticks in my basket and this popped up in suggested and was cheaper after reading reviews decided to go with this one. Super easy to install just push in and go (make sure it’s pushed in enough), this paired with a new SSD and the laptop is performing as if it was new agai
On my late 2012 iMac 27 inch which originally had 8GB of RAM installed as two off 4GB memory modules, things were running slow when I had a couple of apps running at the same time. Given the age of the machine I decided to install an upgrade without breaking my bank or budget. I installed two further 4GB to double my RAM to 16GB.
The iMac recognised the extra RAM straight away. They were easy to install, reasonable value for money and so far so good as far as stability goes. Time and my memory will be able to tell more in the months to come.
Delivery to my door of the goods was very prompt. Despite Covid19 crisis, I decided to use the free delivery service and goods ordered on the 16 June2020 arrived on 17 June 2020.. Well Done!
Great product so far, easy to install and has my MacBook running like new, certainly a much cheaper option than a new MacBook.
First up, thank you to everyone for such helpful reviews. Gave us the confidence to upgrade a perfectly good but slow MacBook Pro.
If you have anything up to a mid 2012 MacBook and it’s frustratingly slow and looks for any excuse to crash, do not despair. Our laptop has been in for investigation and we were told it was fine and there were no problems. But it only has 4 GB RAM which is pretty much useless for this day and age. We were about to upgrade to a 16 GB Model or even switch to a Microsoft Surface at an eye watering 2k minimum and then I suddenly thought let’s look on Amazon and see if there is a memory ‘thing’ we can try. The first thing I learned from the reviews was that we were just inside the window for being able to upgrade the RAM ourselves. Second thing was to ignore the instructions on Apple website to only upgrade to 8 RAM. So we purchased two 8 GB cards. Husband earthed himself this morning as suggested and replaced our two 2 cards for the new ones. In other words we went from 4 GB RAM to 16 GB RAM. Restarted the machine and watched in astonishment as it rose from the near dead and leapt into action. Everything was loaded, including my 22,500 photos in a flash. Allowed me to perform some basic photo editing in seconds which would normally take half an hour and a load of bad language. In fact it’s now so fast it is waiting for me to tell it what to do next.
Joking apart I could not recommend this product higher and can confirm that you can easily do the job yourself and you can double up on what Apple says. And like previous reviewers you will be a lot of hard earned cash better off! Feels like a real victory!
Put this upgrade into my MacBook Pro 13inch , 2016 model. Install easy & MacBook is runs faster. Recommended Amazon seller. Next upgrade will be to change the hard drive to solid state drive to make it faster.
This Memory do work with MacBook pro-2012 edition. I was thinking to upgrade RAM to 8 GB but after reading multiple reviews claiming that this MAC can be upgraded to 16 GB. I took the risk and yeah It works 🙂 🙂
This memory just installed without any problems and has given my 27 inch late 2013 Mac a new lease of life
Came fast brand new as it stated with 2x8GB sticks my imac 27 inch running super fast now!! Easy installation I will be buying another set of 16GB from this seller 100%
Upgraded the Ram in my mid 2012 Macbook Pro from 4GB to 8 GB. These worked perfectly and highly recommended !
Really easy to install in 2012 MacBook Pro. Instantly recognised. One word of advice, disconnect battery before attempting install as risk of static electric could damage chipset.
Worked great in my 2015 Mac book pro now much faste
I fitted these Ram modules into my Late 2013 iMac 27″ alongside 16GB of Crucial Ram to go from 20GB (4GB removed) to 32GB. They work wonderfully well and my Mac is as stable as it can get.
The Timetec Hynix IC 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 SODIMM memory for iMac (mines a 27-inch, Late 2013 model) has made a huge difference to the overall performance of my Mac. It really does feels like having a new one, after years of putting up with it running slower and slower. It was pretty straight forward to install, I just follow a tutorial I found on YouTube. It’s great to know I can get a few more years out of my iMac.
Made a massive difference to my slow MacBook Pro. Like new again!
Fast delivery, easy to install, would buy again, highly recommended.
Is making magical job on my old MacBook Pro 2012 . And still I have the old hdd on. Now is booting more faster and not getting the Anymore
Need more memory in a late 2013 iMac this will work if you are brave/mad enough. I did this and and SSD drive swap at the same time. It all still works but faster, there are lots of teardown videos to help. Make sure you boot it to check before you re seal the screen.
Easy to install in mid 2012 Macbook Pro, works brilliantly ever since.
Excellent product. Has given my iMac a new lease of life.
I bought this RAM to increase performance of my 2012 MacBook Pro. It does the job very well. Memory pressure in Activity Monitor fell from 50%-60% to about 10% base average load for standard tasks. There was a noticeable performance increase.
Recommend.
Took two ticks to fit, and can run full photoshop and Lightroom simultaneously and no scrolling, should have done this ages ago
My iMac was running slowly and so I tried upgrading the memory, I was so impressed with the improved performance that I bought another 16gb to raise it it’s max of 32gb, performance is now like a new pc not one that is 7 years old, value is excellent, price is v good
Great product and does as it should it’s been installed a month now and it’s just perfect
Very recommend
did exactly as i hoped , mini mac now much faste
A product that does not disappoint. Does the job as it intended with my iMAC late 2014 model. Has started running faster. However over time it will start slowing down. That’s only due to the CPU being an older version. For those who have a newer model, would definitly recommend for the value.
Easily inserted into my iMac late 2012. Totally changed the speed of the machine. Very pleased
I have these in a macbook pro and they work fantastic
Easy to install. Fantastic product, upgraded from 4GB TO 8GB RAM and laptop seems like brand new again. Would highly recommend.
Does what it says on the tin and allows me to stay clear from more modern Macs. Hurrah!
Upgrade mid 2011 macbook Pro and worked right out of the box
used this to upgrade the RAM in my late 2012 iMac
Upgraded an old 2012 Mac mini that was painfully slow from 4gb to 8gb. Now much more usable. No crashes, seems stable.
Memory was easy to install and my Macbook Pro is now running faster.
The order arrived the following day quick and accurate. Very happy with this order.
This was RAM upgrade from the standard 8GB RAM increasing it by 16GB to 24GB with a 27inc late 2012 IMac. The memory chips arrived next day as expected and very easy to fit. They instantly made a difference to the operation of my IMac in terms of its speed. They have been working fine for a week and don’t see any reason why they won’t carry on. I did notice the seller offers a lifetime warranty so that is a good reason to use them. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending them.
Quality memory, packaged well and working brilliantly. Very happy customer!
This is great! Pretty simple to install and it completely transformed my Apple Mac mini!
I loved the ease in which this product was installed to my mid 2012 MacBook Pro. Removing the screws on the bottom, removing the cover, easing off the battery connector and slipping out the existing RAM. In the 2 days since I’ve installed the product I have seen a noticeable difference. Where before I was waiting minutes for simple tasks such as opening word, they now open much faster, Google Chrome also seems to be operating much faster. Great product and great advice from others to go for the 16GB rather than the 8GB recommended by Apple.
Spec says 8gb max. Ignore it. 16gb works just fine.
If you are wanting to speed up an old Mac start with an ssd drive though, I found that gave the best result. The memory was only a small upgrade compared to the ssd which brought the machine to life
Bought for MacBook Pro 13″ 2.5GHZ i5 (2012) A1278 —-installed in 5 mins & works grea
My 2013 Macbook Pro had been running increasingly slowly over the past few months since updating to the latest OS -Mojave. It became apparent that the 4MB of installed memory was inadequate to cope with newer software updates so I bit the bullet and ordered Timetec 16GB memory upgrade. Having read the instructions I found it easy to install and was up and running in about 15 minutes. I’m very pleased with the improvement in speed and my old laptop is back to it’s old self !
Didn’t realise that there were two, taking two slots. But that’s what you get for ordering quickly.
I like the fact that there wasn’t any compatible issues ..very stable at the moment ..
The memory was delivered on time, was easy to install and immediately improved my MacBook performance.
Contacted the seller to make sure I ordered the correct Memory Upgrade. It arrived very quickly and was installed within 5 minutes. Soo easy. My Desktop has had a new lease of life.
Easy to fit, and fully compatible with my iMac 27inch late 2013 model. Made a huge difference taking it for 8GB to 16GB RAM. Very happy to have purchased this memory upgrade.
Very easy to install. Makes my 2012 mac preform great with Mojave.
I wasn’t sure this set would actually work, I took a gamble as I knew Amazon would assist if it didn’t, to my surprise, it was easy to install and my MacBook Pro is a lot faster than before, I can’t fault it, my MacBook Pro runs Final Cut Pro X which I use to edit all my video work, the turnaround time is a lot better as it was with the 8gb ram that came with it from the factory. If you’re considering this ram, get it as it works, I’ve no issues running them so far, hope this review helps someone.
Fantastic product. Made my MacBook Pro work better than when new. Recommended.
Compared to other manufacturers on amazon, selling more expensive products, near same quality. this was a bargain. has increased the performance to a used 2012 non retina macbook pro without doubt.
As the title suggests, I was very close to parting with 2,500 of my hard earned cash to buy a new all singing and dancing Macbook Pro. Then I stumbled across a YouTube video about how this guy upgraded his old Mac to out-do the performance of new ones.
This memory upgrade is an instant fix to make it faster. Videos in Adobe Premiere Pro render in no time at all and start-up is marginally quicker.
Apple’s support page says my MacBookPro9,2 (13-inch, Mid 2012) will only support a maximum memory of 8GB. But this is wrong! My machine is now supersonic at 16GB RAM.
Furthermore, this is great value for money when you take into account my bank still has 2,500 left in it for me to play with. Crucial Memory retails the same spec for over 100.
Now I’ve got the upgrade bug, the next job is to replace the battery which now only holds half its charge and to swap the HHD with a SSD. Then my trusty mac will be better than new! Give it a try.
I have a mid 2012 MacBook Pro which was upgraded to 8GB RAM when purchased. It slowed to a standstill with the beachball up all the time. I was on the verge of buying a new laptop when I saw these RAM chipsets. I took a chance and installed them. My MacBook is faster now than I first bought it. Look in your activity monitor and if you are using more RAM then you have installed then do not hesitate to get these. Instantly upgrades your MacBook with no hassle. So easy to install, any one who can use a screwdriver can install them.
I bought this ram upgrade because my mac was running slow, this product fixed that, now my mac is fast.
Info: Retina 5K, 27-inch, Mid 2015 i5 iMac.
Going to buy another 16GB Kit soon.
Installed 2 x 8gb in my MacBook Pro mid 2012 which despite the spec of 2 x 4gb max, immediately recognised the 16gb (had seen others reviews to this effect). Can’t comment on durability at this stage.
Perfect RAM upgrade to my late 2013 27″ iMac. Easy to install, booted quickly. New lease of life for the old Mac.
i have a mac mini, only had 4gb and she was going slow, with the 8 she moves a lot better, many thanks
Easy to fit, works a treat, has helped with the transitions on my Mac, also with multi tasking, bringing a mid 12′ MacBook upto speed.
This was for my mac book pro to upgrade from 4gb and I’ve had no issues since I installed it. Mac book runs faster as i use Photoshop software and doesn’t crash. Easy to install plug in and play
Installed in Mac Mini last night. Simple and works. Far cheaper than Crucual same result . Still don’t understand though how expensive memory is
I bought this to upgrade my RAM in a Mac mini (2014) however, I was unaware this wasn’t possible.
Completely my fault and damn do I feel like a douche
Double check the model of the Mac item you have is compatible before purchase. Don’t make my mistake
All in all, delivery was early, came neatly packaged and in perfect condition. Under different circumstances, I’d be over the moon.
Easy to install, seem like enhanced my laptop as hoped.
RAM arrived 13:00, installed by 13:10, played with computer which is flying, writing review 13:35 saying I’m a very happy bunny. Anybody buying I advise you watch one of the trillions on YouTube showing you how to put it in. It really is very simple but there’s a hidden button for the little panel.
Received exactly what I ordered (additional RAM upgrade for my Imac) – in good time – and it works perfectly.
Fit and work as expected bought for a Mac Mini
Bought as a mid-life kicker for my non-apple laptop, no issues and a new lease on the now, no swapping, old dog.
The poor-man’s computer upgrade. These have breathed a bit of life back into my old iMac.
Worked as advertised in a Mac Mini late 2012 with a notable difference in performance. I recommend this item and would buy it again.
Does the job; easy to fit; no problems; recognised straight away by the OS.
So glad I upgraded with this product, I was going to replace my Mac but not needed now. Followed instructions online, couldn’t have been easier.
Prompt delivery and great product. My computer is now working much faster and my work flow has improved considerably.
Superb – upgraded my macbook pro 2012 with the 8GB kit (2×4), no issues at all…worked seamlessly…i would definitely recommend as the product is made in US and comes in original packaging with made for mac label, read a lot of reviews and searched a lot of expensive rams..glad i took a chance. not a lot of reviews on this manufacturer/seller so leaving the note in. you can def buy and no hassles at all. for a price point of 60 its worth the money.
I normally stick to memory from known brands (Crucial, Corsair and Kingston). Needed an upgrade for a 2012 iMac and the suitable Crucial model was hugely overpriced in my opinion. Took a chance on this (the iMac is not an easy computer to open) and having installed and used it for a month it has worked perfectly and given me no problems despite running memory intensive applications. Communication from the seller has been excellent also. A highly recommended product.
My imac was starting to lag running big programs, these are simple to add to the mac and now its running great again.
So far so good. Switching between applications ever so quick and it’s cheaper than Corsair and Crucial.
Works perfectly in my macbook pro mid 2012 13″. Very quick and the mac works even better
Would I recommend? 100%
Arrived quickly, inserted into the iMac and works like a dream
A really good buy. My iMac was slowing and needed a RAM up-grade. The Timetec RAM chips were well worth the money. Very simple to fit (I watched several Youtube videos first).
Just what I needed to speed up my Mac, now doubled the RAM and will certainly purchase from this seller again as it has made a great improvement to how many tabs and apps I can use.
Just what it said on the tin. Worked fine on installatio
Worth the money and stopped my old mid 2012 MacBook Pro from stressing out from using to many apps at once, so if you want to prolong the life of your MacBook etc….. I recommend buying this and it compatible with a lot of type of computers
Worked perfectly in a Mid 2012 MacBook Pro and a noticeable speed bump in apps. Definitely add an SSD to ensure longevity for the older laptop, too
