Is Non-Retina MacBook Pro 2012 upgradable? Memory/SSD?

[oldguru]

I saw the article said Retina MBP is not upgradable? Is anyone getting a non-retina MBP? Can I get the low end configuration, and upgrade the memory and SSD by myself?

Thanks for the information!

I am not a geek. Can anyone give a one stop recommendation for the memory and SSD? Which had balance the performance and $$$.

Thank you!

Memory is NOT upgradeable. However the SSD/Flash Storage on the Retina is upgradeable from 512/G or 768/G.

The best way is to get the 16GB of Ram just future proof it since you can not upgrade it if you decide later down the road.

I am talking the NON-Retina MBP, is the memory upgradable?

Yes, in the non-retina MacBook Pro you can easily upgrade both the memory and hard drive. I usually go with Crucial to buy my memory and SSD. They have very reliable products at a good price. I'll be getting the base 15" Pro in a week or two and upgrading the RAM to 8GB as well as replacing the hard drive with a 128GB SSD. Both from Crucial.
