Best Prices on Apple MacBook Pro
I am now tracking and monitoring memory upgrade prices for the new Apple MacBook Pro models released today and as I write this there are just two memory stores who ship and stock RAM upgrades for the 2011 Apple MacBook Pros. Seeing as how the new MacBook Pro models were released just a few hours ago that the two memory stores that tend to specialize in Apple memory are the first to announce and list memory prices online for the new Apple MacBook Pro Models, those two memory sellers being RAMJET and OWC.
I have created two pages for the 2011 MacBook Pro’s as like always over the years if you’re in the market for the best prices on MacBook Pro RAM you need to check for both 4GB MacBook Pro DDR3 Memory Modules as well as 8GB MacBook Pro Memory Upgrade Kits as some stores only ship modules and others carry only the kits so be sure to check both for the best deal on 2011 MacBook Pro Memory Upgrades.
I’m surprised Apple didn’t bump the maximum memory on the 2011 MacBook Pros to a maximum of 16GB as this is what the new Apple iMacs can handle for almost a year now so I really assumed that 16GB of RAM for the MacBook Pros would be the default.
The new DDR3 MacBook Pro RAM for the 2011 MacBook Pros is compatible with the current Apple MacBook Computers and that’s for all versions – 13 inch to 17 inch models.

Well, the new macbook pros do actually support 16Gb, although 2 8Gb RAM modules (PC3-10600 1333MHz 204-pin DDR3) does not come cheap. This is even though they say that it is only compatible with 8Gb.

You are correct, you can install 16Gb of RAM into the new Apple MacBook Pros. Still pricey, but possible. It’s always been my policy when touting maximum requirements for any computer to stick to what was posted at time of release by the manufacturer, so even though 16GB is possible, 8GB is the max as per Apple, so that’s what I’m sticking with

Jim,
My 2011 MBP manual says 8GB max for best performance, not 8GB max period. I take that as you risk a degradation in performance over 8GB which has already been tested as true by MacLife for certain programs.
Thanks for your great site!
