What do you guys think of this RAM deal for the new macbook?

Just installed a batch from them two hours ago. Seems to work ok. Pretty generic stuff.
(notable are their excellent feedback and the "Macbook" designation)
Considering how people are getting mixed results from brand names it seems wise to try and save as much as possilbe on this rather expensive upgrade.
I chose Priority shipping for the extra $5 but with Cashback it wasn't that much of a hit (USPS first class is a gamble IMHO)
ok so im about to buy it if no one has anything bad to say about the ram... any opinions before i go ahead and get it? im really not sure whether to trust it or not...
Idk, I was thinking maybe the quality? I don't know much about ramFunny stuff. How can it be well tested if it's brand new?
No, seriously. It's a Power Seller and it's the correct RAM. It's a good price, too. What could possibly be bad about this deal?
Like others have mentioned, he is a power seller. 99.7% positive feedback too. If that's any indication, I'd trust the description that says it was made with Samsung semiconductors. Kinda makes me wish I'd found this before upgrading for $150 from the Apple Store.
Ok so I just went ahead and bought it and I think I got a pretty gnarly deal if I do say so myself
That is a great deal. I paid $135 plus shipping for mine less than a month ago and it's not Samsung.
well thats the thing, its not samsung retail brand, it just says made with samsung semi-conductors, so im not sure if that means anything
Keep it going. I'd be interested to see whether you started seeing graphics glitches or kernel panics with some extended uptime.
I have bought a classic MBP (early 2008). Can this work with it? I have 2GB now... I heard that I can only upgrade to 4GB?
actually 6 if you want to be technical. The majority opinion on this site is to just go with 4 (2x2) though. It should be enough.
The nVidia chip seems to be tempermental with the RAM you put into the system: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/595517/
oh wow, i really hope mine isn't one of those that doesnt like new ram. its weird that most new macbooks seem to be ok but some have issues with new ram
So i got my ram today, after battling the tiny little screws on this macbook that refused to come out, i finally installed it and it works amazingly. and theyre the same samsung semi conductors as the original ram i took out of the macbook, theyre just not samsung retail brand. anyway they work great, and you can clearly feel the difference between 2 and 4gb, especially in parallels
no problem, it seems to be working great so far, and since he's a powerseller...i'm feeling pretty optimistic. just make sure you have the right tool or you'll find yourself filing down a screw driver thats just a little bigger than the screw...
