Yes you can, MBP13 2012 can supports up to 16Gb of RAM. Buy an Apple certified RAMs like the Kingston KTA and you will have no issue at all.

Hi,

Has anyone purchased from OWC? I'm thinking of purchasing RAM from them. Any problems with customs? Thanks.

No problem with the customs but why troubling yourself while you can buy it locally?

Kingston KTA (Apple certified RAM) always a good choice.

1600Mhz for MBP13 mid-2012. DIY is much cheaper and you'll learn more.

yeah i kno. juz that i'm in JB and I don't know of any reputable or reliable shop where I can purchase from. Since I'm a novice at this I'm wary of adding the wrong ram and getting the warranty negated.

I lived in Penang and I'm also do not know any reputable or reliable shop here but you can refer the link that I shared earlier. I bought most of my computer parts online locally. You just have to find the right seller. smile.gif

MBA Mid 2011 uses a Blade PCIe type SSD which is not cheap. DIY always the best as you learn more about your Mac. smile.gif

Any brand is ok but you will not get the SSD's optimum speed since your 2010 Mac only use SATA2 3Gbps interface. Most present SSD in the market uses SATA3 6Gbps interface. You can upgrade to SSD but you will only get half of it's speed.

The thing about my MBP is that the fan keeps spinning in a very high speed and sometimes the computer is slow. Do you reckon that changing the SSD and blow out all the dust from the fan will help?
