Perfect RAM Upgrade for Older Macs – Works Flawlessly!
I bought the Timetec 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3L 1600MHz to upgrade the memory in my older MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), and it made a huge difference in performance and stability. My Mac runs much faster and smoother, especially when multitasking or running heavier apps. Installation was simple—just popped the old RAM out and inserted the new modules. The system recognized the full 16GB right away with no compatibility issues. This RAM is also compatible with other older Macs like iMacs (2011–2015) and Mac Minis (2011–2012), so it’s a great investment if you’re looking to extend the life of your machine. Highly recommend this kit if you're trying to breathe new life into an aging Mac!

Good choice!
I was looking forward to upgrade the RAM on my 2012 Macbook Pro, from 8 to 16 GB. They seem to work fine, and even though this machine is now old and not as fast as the newer models, I do feel it works faster in multitasking. I've also read that RAM gets old and replacing them also makes the computer to go faster. So far, so good. Plus they came really fast, and well packed!

Quality RAM but 2025 RAM prices are a scam....
I bought this for $18 on April 2023 : a Timetec 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3L 1600MHz for my lat 2013 IMAC 27 inch and am very happy with it. It was easy to install via the slot in the back of the IMAC, be careful with static discharge, and after putting the 2 into 2 slots I had a total of 16GB + 8GB(Original RAM) for total of 24GB DDR3L RAM. I came back on Nov 2025 to buy another 16GB and Black Friday had it for $26 and reg price is $31!! Even the $26 is 44.444% MORE THAN 2023 price of $18.......... RAM prices are a SCAM for 2025 so I'm not paying that. However, if you do choose to pay it, this is quality RAM and well wroth it at $18 maybe $20 b/c of inlfation but not 26 and even less at 31..... .lol For my PC I did load up on 96GB DDR4 (June 2024) so I'm good there for next 5 to 10 years, haha

MAJOR upgrade to my mid-2012 MacBook Pro 9,2 13in
I upgraded my mid-2012 MacBook Pro 9,2 13in 2x4GB Timetec RAM to 2x8GB Timetec RAM and my aging computer is able to handle a lot more. It's a night and day difference. When I upgraded the included 2x2GB factory RAM several years ago, I thought 2x4GB was the max my computer/model could handle. I am thrilled with the new capabilities, especially given how limiting the 8GB RAM was in working on graphic files. The overall performance of my computer on internet browsing capabilities has increased dramatically as well. I am known to keep a lot of tabs open and I have yet to encounter the dreaded spinning ball or involuntary restart since installing this 2x8GB RAM (both were daily issues for me prior). The affordable price is a HUGE bonus as well. My only is advice is to not wait like I did, do it now...you won't be disappointed. Installation was super easy. I watched an internet video on RAM installation for my specific MacBook just to be sure I installed it correctly and I did on the first try, no tools needed. I consider myself computer literate, though I have zero experience in working on the inside of my computer. Super easy!

I saved about $300 over taking my Mac to a shop
I purchased a toolset with necessary screwdriver(s) and this drive for about $53. A local shop had quoted me $349.99 to replace my dying SSD drive and reinstall OS. It was easy and it works great. One issue I ran into I used the wrong technique to disconnect the 9 pin battery connector, I bent one pin inside. I had to use a magnifying glass and flashlight after removing the battery to give a better view. I was able to fix the bent pin, and got it working. Successful job :)

Revitalized My MacBook Pro 2012 - Like a Brand-New Machine!
I recently decided to give my old MacBook Pro (2012) a much-needed boost, and after a bit of research, I settled on the Timetec 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3L 1600MHz. Let me tell you, it was a decision that paid off massively! Installation: The installation process was a breeze. The RAM fit perfectly, and I was up and running in no time. The detailed compatibility with MacBook Pro models (2011-2012), assured me I was making the right choice, and it didn't disappoint. Performance: Since the upgrade, my MacBook Pro feels like it's been given a new lease on life. Combined with an SSD upgrade I had previously installed, this RAM addition has turned my sluggish old MacBook into a speed demon. Applications launch in a flash, multitasking is smoother than ever, and I can run multiple programs simultaneously without a hitch. Value: This upgrade is, without a doubt, one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of an older Mac. Instead of shelling out big bucks for a new machine, this RAM (alongside my SSD) has made my MacBook Pro feel brand new. It's a great addition that has significantly improved my daily workflow and overall computing experience. Conclusion: If you're looking to rejuvenate your aging MacBook Pro, I can't recommend the Timetec 16GB KIT enough. It's a fantastic upgrade that, when combined with an SSD, will bring your old machine roaring into the present. I'm thoroughly impressed and extremely satisfied with my now lightning-fast MacBook Pro. Highly recommended!

Great product for the price
My 2012 MacBook Pro with 4 GB of memory badly needed an upgrade. It was simple to install the 2x8GB memory sticks and it has given the old boy a badly needed upgrade. Very pleased with this product.

I upgraded my old macbook pro from 8 to 16 GB . Works perfect . As I had already installed a Crucial SSD , this macbook pro is now running at par if not better than the later macbook pros which have limitations to upgrade from 8 to 16 GB ( solderd on ram) . With the extra ram , I can run several virtual machines on my macbook pro hacking and penetration classes , without worry about ram allocation for the various virtual machines . The price was also 30 % cheaper than what i had been offered by a reseller . Thank you !
