yes, you can install 2x 4GB RAM, on your own. the thing is, your MBP comes with 2x 2GB, so my advice is get 1x 4GB first. I saw it around 700+.

try with 6 GB ... cos most consumer apps (including Adobe stuff) only supports up to 4GB. any more is just wasted

icic...thx for telling me bro. i thought i could have add in another 2x2gb

heh? But with more RAM you can run more apps concurrently isn't it?
What do you mean most consumer apps only supports up to 4GB??

This. If a software uses up all 4GB of RAM, at least there'll be extra for your iCal, Mail, Safari, etc.

That's a good point.... Another reason for me to consider on upgrading the rams

that's y i am asking xaw5126, why it will be wasted? You don't run only 1 application most of the time right?
Furthermore, never heard before Adobe app only support up to 4GB, in fact, I don't understand that, what does it mean?
Meaning there's no different when you run Adobe app on a 4GB and 8GB Mac? Becos Adobe app do not "see" any extra RAM more than 4GB?
Hope someone could clarify this Very new to me.

i already kena my mbp13" electric shock many times d..lol

i guess what he meant was most adobe apps dont get much benefit if u go from 4gb to 8gb.

btw if u guys wanna upgrade to 2x4gb RAM, juz make sure u really need it la. for the price, it's not really "buy 1st lah see how later".

what do u mean by electric shock?? kena shock by ur laptop?

electric shock and static is two different things

its not static..i know when we plug our adapter in,it will have electric static..but just now i kena is electric shock..

welcome to the club.. we are having the same set

hmm thats weird try to calibrate and see the results

@CreamMilk
IINM, if the application is not fully 64-bit, then it will not read RAM above the 4GB maximum.
effectively wasting your 4GB.
my own use is mainly on Apple apps, so I've used a 6GB Mac... was very very nice

have a few question for you guys who own the latest april 2010 MBP 13inch.

what kind of real life battery life you're getting out of the machine? normally i don't trust the remaining time but i judge it by using the machine for certain period of time, say 30mins or 1 hour, and see how much the battery % dropped in average.

seeing many US owners are getting 6~8hours on wifi with messanger/few web tabs with firefox, i'm sure with wifi off it can reach up to 9~10 hours which is what i'm aiming for. though not the most portable laptop (especially compared to my VAIO X) but it sure has the most balance between performance/battery life IMHO.

i'm interested in knowing your battery life on:

- web/messenger without flash
- with flash e.g. youtube/facebook
- DVD watching or video clips like mpeg/avi

thanks in advance!

Guys..i bought a original dvd (movie) and played with normal flat CRT TV..(not yet LCD hehehe). The picture quality is up to my expectation (apatah lg kalau LED @ LCD hehehe)..so my thought was if the DVD were to played on my mbp..the quality would be better..but it turns otherwise.. it was similar to other notebook quality...maybe im lack of display technologies knowledge..and hope someone might advice..tq
