2011 Apple MacBook Pro 16GB Memory Upgrades
As I noted back in August, it was just a matter of time until 16GB RAM, MacBook Pro Memory Upgrades specifically would be available to buy online and it looks as if that day has finally come with 16GB for MacBook Pro Kits being available from the good folks at OWC and now they not only offer 8GB Memory Upgrade Kits for the 2011 MacBook Pros, but also 16GB too which is the big deal when it comes to new RAM Upgrades for the New MacBooks. Also, RAMJET is another memory store you can buy 16GB MacBook Pro RAM, and at time of writing is priced the same as OWC’s 16GB MacBook Memory Kit.

The memory upgrades above are for 2011 Apple MacBook Pro Models such as the 13.3″ Apple MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 13.3″ Apple MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz 15″ Apple MacBook Pro 2.2GHz, 15″ Apple MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz and the 17″ Apple MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz MacBook Pro models

OWC offers three memory upgrade kits for this year’s 2011 MacBooks with 8GB, 12GB and 16GB ram upgrade kits now available for the latest MBP’s.
The best deal on RAM from OWC for the new MacBook Pro’s are in my opinion now the 16GB option which maxes out your MacBook Pro to way beyond what Apple recommends as maximum memory, which was 8GB to 16GB.
This 16GB RAM upgrade is compatible with all Apple MacBook Pros that require 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM sodimms,and to get to the maximum of 16GB of RAM you will need to buy 8GBx2 as there are still only two memory upgrade slots available for RAM upgrades int the new MBP’s but if you either have bought a MacBook Pro or in the market to buy a MacBook Pro you should upgrade the RAM to at least the maximum that Apple recommends which is 8GB.
OWC offers a 12GB memory upgrade kit, which in my opinion is not the best RAM upgrade for the MacBook Pro, as it’s my opinion you only get one chance at a MacBook Pro RAM upgrade (or any other RAM upgrade, for that matter), so you may as well do it right and do it once and buy 16GB of MacBook Pro RAM if you can afford to.
The new 16GB RAM kits from OWC have been tested by Other World Computing and are designed to work in all 2011 Apple MacBook Pro Models.

If your Apple MacBook Pro requires 1067MHz speed memory, the maximum RAM you can install is 8GB of RAM. Only the newest apple MacBook Pros allow 16GB of RAM to be installed
