Hi all
I apologize if this has already been mulled over, new to this Forum and just purchased a 13" MBP w I5 2.4Ghz, 8GB 1600 RAM and 256GB SSD....
First experience with Mac OS (other than Iphone), since 1994 when I had a Mac Performa
Anyhow, I'm interested in beefing up my RAM from 8GB to 16GB, but have read conflicting info, some stating that the RAM can only be upgraded at the time of purchase others saying that the new Late 2013 MBP 13" model can be upgraded....?
Anyhow, I'm certainly capable of installing a couple of RAM Chips as I do build Custom Gaming PC's (Air Cooled and Water Cooled).....I did have my old ASUS G51J Notebook apart to replace both HD's with SSD's....so HW installation I'm fine with.....with all that said:
Here is my MBP, purchased 19 June 14

Assuming it is 2 x 4GB RAM Slots....these are the 2x 8GB Corsair Chips I'm looking at, everything about them states they're compatible:

For a $200 CDN simple upgrade, now, is it just a matter of taking out the screws on the back of the MBP and the RAM Slots are easily accessible?
Thanks for any help folks, glad I found this Mac Forum, I'm sure I'll have lots of queries in the future with my new toy
Cheers
RJ
