    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!

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersAfter 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.

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

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersOn 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!

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersFirst 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI 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

    Golden Review Award: 31 From Our UsersAs 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.

    Thinking of replacing your slow Mac with an expensive new one? Think again...

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI 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.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersI 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.
