what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy this is a special presentation I'm going to be putting sixteen gigabytes of RAM inside of this macbook pro I've got a screwdriver I've got an Android figurine to supervise the entire procedure I'm just kidding you do not need an Android figurine here's the RAM that I chose this is some Corsair memory called mac memory and this is ddr3 at 1333 megahertz and these are the timing's nine - nine - nine - similar to mine from early 2011 or even 2012 its ddr3 ram with those timings you don't need to buy mac specific memory or something labeled like mine is just make sure that those timings match up also get yourself a decent screw driver the screws that Apple is using on this underplayed here are not the greatest I've ever seen so if you come in with a cheap screwdriver you might mess it up get yourself something half decent so here you can see my incredible speed at undoing this bottom plate here all you gotta do is take this puppy off and you should be good to go you'll see the wonderful innards of your MacBook Pro shortly after that process and here you can see in mine it doesn't look quite like a stock one that's because I've got the vertex three in the top right corner but look at all that gadgetry all that goodness on the interior there but yes I've got the vertex three SSD in the regular drive bay of my Mac Pro Pro and then in the optical drive bay I swapped out the optical drive for my traditional hard drive I guess it was a 750 gigabyte drive that lives in there for extra storage because I don't need the optical drive the RAM lives over in the center of the macbook pro where I'm pointing right now and to get it out all you got to do is pull these little tabs to the side here's a closer look at what they look like there's one on the left one on the right you pull them away from the RAM chip and since it's spring loaded it should pop up and then you just pull it out and you should be ready to go then you've got to open up your new RAM of course and get that inserted you insert it in the manner opposite of the extraction process as you'd expect and it's really easy to do you just line up the pin that's the main thing make sure you line up the pin on the correct side slide it in there the bottom one is a little tougher to line up then the top one and then press it down you'll sort of feel it slide in and then click down towards the bottom side of the laptop or top side depending on which way you're looking at it so there you go here's an even closer look for you guys to figure out don't be scared give it a little pressure it'll all be good if you want it to be flush and straight down so the last thing to do is just to zip the bottom plate back on once again I'm going to do that in super speed mode here so that I don't bore you and then the last thing to do after you've completed this is to boot up your macbook pro make sure the ram is registering correctly there are also some tests you can run to make sure that it can handle a full workload and in my case here it boots up just fine I've got the wonderful Apple logo to greet me and then after getting into the OS the only thing left to do is to click on the Apple logo in the top left corner about this Mac and here you see this is mine 16 gigabytes 1333 megahertz of ddr3 RAM now I've just got to go out and use it and if you're considering doing this then let me know how you would use 16 gigs of ram or if you even could anyway guys if you enjoyed this content hopefully you can like and favorite this video as it does help me out a bunch and I stay tuned the channel for more content on the way and I will see you guys on the next one okay
