This one does work with Mac. You must have it confused with another listing they have that isn't for Mac.

I bought this for use with my Mac Mini and have had zero problems with it so far.

So what would be a better buy?
The Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10) for 79.99$

or Komputerbay 16GB (2x 8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz SODIMM 204-Pin Laptop Memory 10-10-10-27 1.5V for 49.99?

Thanks!!!

16gb for $50 is an awesome deal. Any idea if these would work in a 2011 Mac?

At the computer store I work at, we were using Corsair in our custom-built desktops and started having a LOT of failures, so I guess I kind of shy away from it now.

Not sure who actually makes the Komputerbay ram, but as I said above, I haven't had any issues with it. I would likely buy it again.

Crucial (direct purchase from them) or OWC are also my choices. As long as you choose the right type for your year and model they guarantee their memory will work in your Mac. Memory has gone up a little in the past week. A few days ago it was $82 and right now 16GB (2 x 8GB) of Crucial for the late 2012 Mac Mini is only $86 plus shipping which isn't much more than the other discounted suppliers. I would rather pay $10-$15 more and have their Mac compatible guarantee and lifetime warranty. It saves me money in the long run for time, auto fuel, the hassle of returns and gives me peace of mind and then I am covered with a lifetime warranty from a company that has been been one of the official Apple OEM memory suppliers for years. For OWC...They are just good. They are a premier vendor of Mac products and supplies. Their speed of shipping and customer service are about the best I have ever experienced.
