QUOTE(jhonsonlee @ Jul 22 2011, 12:17 PM) I'm planning to purchase my first Apple OS X pc Which is better Macbook Pro of Macbook Air I would like to know should I upgrade the memory via apple or self upgrade which is cheaper ? And should I upgrade the warranty to 3 years ? you have to specify your usage then you will know which hardware is better for you. no point asking here which is better because both is for different purpose. ram can self upgrade for MBP but MBA can't self upgrade. if you're planning to stick to this mac for a long time, then get Apple Care. if not don't bother getting one |

QUOTE(uniquexme @ Aug 18 2011, 11:38 AM) since i saw this forum regarding upgrading of ram from 2GBx2 to 4GBx2 at only less than RM200, i also would like to upgrade mine. My MBP is mid 2009, do u think i can upgrade to 8GB? so following this thread, getting Kingston KTA is good? My current RAM is DDR3 1067mhz, so getting 1066 would be confirmed suitable? just bring your laptop to the store to test it out with the rams. it costs around RM150 for the upgrade. but 1067 is rarely in stocks now, i went around DM and LYP today only a few stores have them |

QUOTE(soonwai @ Aug 24 2011, 03:42 PM) Well, 2 sticks of RAM will use double the power of 1 stick of RAM. 1 stick 4GB vs 2GB, that I don't know, maybe just a little more. this makes sense, but I'm comparing 2x2GB and 2x4GB |

QUOTE(Kenny_Yong_9 @ Aug 25 2011, 05:06 AM) [attachmentid=2404643] Hi, currently using MBP 2011, I bought on June. My MBP is it max can support 16gb ram? total 4 slots? Why I viewed online the ram for ddr3 1333 is around rm124 for 1x4gb? from others member 4gb+4gb only for around 150 max? theres 2 slots. for 16GB, you need to get 2 sticks of 8GB you'll seldom see 8GB in stores, have to order online |
