Apple Macbook Pro 8Gb Upgrade

I had 8GB of ram and this upgrade was so easy and way less than getting it through Apple. The ram functions great and as it should.

Cheap way to upgrade your macbook pro!

I purchased this to make an external boot drive for my 2015 MacBook Pro. This device is probably the fastest way to add external storage to my machine since the Thunderbolt 2 ports are far faster than the USB3 ports. Since this Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 enclosure is self-powered, you can use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter in reverse, making full use of the MacBook's Thunderbolt 2 port and getting super fast transfer speeds, making it suitable for use as a boot drive. I don't have any benchmark utilities, but I copied a large VMware image from the internal Apple SSD to an external 2TB FireCuda 530 and saw an Activity Monitor peak write speed of 1.6GB/sec, which is super fast. The case gets a little warm, but that means that it is effectively sinking heat from the M2 drive. I used this to successfully build and test a system upgrade to Mojave, and will continue to use this to occasionally run modern OS versions that I don't want to permanently upgrade to due to software compatibility issues with old apps I still need to run. Right now, it's Velcro'ed to the laptop lid and holds a 1TB drive waiting to test Catalina, so I can see which apps break before deciding if I want to take the plunge. All in all, it's perfect as an external drive for my older MacBook Pro, it's well priced, and extremely well constructed. I'll continue to use it for the rest of the life of this machine, and it'll still be useful if I upgrade to a more modern machine later.

Absolutely love my new MacBook! I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, but what I always appreciate about Apple products is that they just work right out of the box with minimal setup and little fuss.  With just a few clicks the transfer assistant had my data from my old MacBook migrated over with ease. This was a big upgrade for me since I was coming from a late 2019 Intel Macbook Pro with only 8GB of RAM. I tend to use a lot of tabs in Safari, while simultaneously working in multiple Adobe Creative Cloud apps, a VMWare virtual Machine, and occasionally SketchUp. While my previous laptop would begrudgingly (slowly) support that workflow, it was increasingly obvious that 8GB of RAM wasn't sufficient for my needs. So after much thought and research I opted for the base M3 Pro chip over the upgraded chip M3 Pro and went with a model with 36 GB of RAM instead, and I couldn't be happier! I look forward to really unlocking the performance of this new M3 Pro Macbook Pro as time goes on.   And the space black color is gorgeous!

most imp thing is a MacBook with RAM more than 8GB, so any apple propcessor with more than 8GB is an awesome laptop

Apple MacBook Pro's have always delivered, and this one is no exception.

I had a 2020 MacBook Air 8GB RAM before this computer. The upgrade to 16GB RAM with M2 is huge. Much better screen, more snappy in applications, and noticeably better battery life. All around a significantly bigger upgrade than I imagined it would be.

This product is perfect for my 13 Apple MacBook Pro.

apple care for macbook pro at a very good price..

I currently have a macbook pro 16 i9 32gb ram 8gb video, I put hyperdrive on it and it was an excellent purchase, it has 85w to lap top and 15w current delivery for hyper drive but it is not a problem for the machine because it charges the battery even demanding it the computer, I do streaming and video mapping and this product is excellent
