DDR1600 is still quite rare in the market, even for desktop. And another thing, asking for a RAM upgrade at an Apple Store is madness in itself.

As a CONSUMER can't i really have my purchasing is compatible to the standard spec, if someone sell you something that are older version and you still need to pay the same amount, will you? There is no wrong to try if they do have the upgrading service and even i know we need to purchase online if want upgrade spec...

Hi all,
just got my MBP 13" 2012 (3,699 model) last week, with a dual core i5 with 4G ram, performance wise definitely slower than my previous Dell inspiron quad-core i7 with 8GB, but think it's ok for me and still acceptable (dual core VS quad core maybe?)

Anyway, my macbook 13" hang almost everyday and I have to press power button to off & on again.

Could it due to insufficient RAM? My daily task is firefox + chrome (20-30 tabs), Mail, MAMP PRO, Coda 2, Keynote, Trillian, MS messenger, Evernote, Dropbox.

Is 4GB ram + an i5 dual core enough to fit all the purpose I mentioned? I'm thinking to get 2 x 4GB 1600 DDR3 ram to upgrade, anyone has any recommendation which brand/model is compatible with this macbook pro?

Appreciate if any comment/suggestion!

I have similar situation too ill been thinking because i just ordered the normal 256 gb , ill of course install bootcamp but sometimes im just too lazy to use bootcamp to watch ppstream with my gf , so , what im thinking is i'll just use some window-virtualization tech(i dont knw what its call) that allows me to use pps , but when im feeling like playing games, then ill boot to window

Ppstream is just a small application , i dont think booting to window is called efficient
since my mac is capable to handle it , why not?

off topic : anyone knows any good food in ss2 nw? kinda hungry bt dont wanna drive so far

There was a pps apps for Mac...I watch pps on osx...no need boot into windows
