Yes.
The entire range from the 2011 year can be upgrade to 16GB RAM by utilising 2x8GB ddr3 1333mhz so-dimms.
This includes all early 2011 models, all late 2011 models. All 13", all 15", all 17" models.
The original maximum capacity was 8GB memory. This was achieved by utilising 2x4GB DDR3 1333mhz modules. However the 8GB modules were introduced after the MacBooks of this year were released and Apple never retroactively updates their information.
Thousands of customers have since upgraded their 2011 MacBook Pro to 16GB of RAM and have been most please with the ability to now work on the MacBook Pro as intended.
The official maximum RAM capacity for all models of this year was originally listed as 8GB.
The 8GB upgrade was achieved by installing 2x4GB 1067nhz modules.
Upon release of an 8GB 1067mhz module, it was discovered that the 2010 MacBook Pro 13" Core 2 Duo series could utilise these 8GB RAM modules and could be upgraded to a total of 16GB of RAM.
There are 2 models of the 13" 2010 MacBook Pro and they both have the model identifier 7,1.
This is one of our most frequently asked questions.
Yes, you can install RAM in any MacBook Pro singularly or in pairs. The memory modules will work mixed or one at a time.
There is a slight performance increase installing RAM in matched pairs, maybe a few percentage points in speed increase. You get a bigger boost in speed by installing more ram. What we mean by that is if your model can use 8GB modules then you have a choice of installing a 8GB kit (two 4GBs) or an 8GB module with the exisiting 2GB (for example). Your mac will perform better having 8GB + 2GB = 10GB of ram than a small speed boost installing matched 4GB modules (8GB).
The other advantage of installing one high capacity module is you do not have to remove the 8GB kit to install more ram, you can replace the last small capacity module later with a high capacity modules.
Then you should consider replacing your existing HDD with an SSD(solid state drive)
Upgrading the memory in your computer is usually the first step to increasing it's performance. Additional memory allows you to run more applications simultaneously without the computer slowing down. It also allows you to multi-task to a much greater degree as your applications, email, web browsing, etc. all have more RAM to use to run efficiently.
However additional RAM does not solve all the issues of a "slow" computer. If you find that it takes the latest OS a long time to load or your spreadsheets are taking minutes before they are ready to use, then you should consider swapping out your old spinning HDD for an SSD.
SSDs will run up to 12 times faster then a HDD and will have the OS loading and ready to use within seconds instead of minutes. All complex programs, high res video, complex audio and other large applications will load, ready to use, within seconds instead of taking several minutes before being ready to utilise.
In a working environment, waiting minutes each time a new program loads or for your computer to be ready to use, is a time consuming and costly exercise. Added up, wait times increase to hours lost when totaled over the course of just a week.
None of us here have that kind of time to waste, do you?
