Other World Computing announced today OWC PC3-12800 DDR3L 1600MHz Memory Upgrades up to 16GB for the new MacBook Pro 13″ and 15″ non-Retina display models announced by Apple yesterday. OWC Memory upgrades offer owners of the newest MacBook Pro models up to double the maximum offered factory installed memory, savings up to 40 percent for same-sized memory upgrades, and upgrade options not available from the factory.

UPDATE

Standard RAM: 4 GB Maximum RAM: 16 GB*

Details: 4 GB of RAM is installed as two 2 GB modules, no slots free.

*Apple officially supports a maximum of 8 GB of RAM, but third-parties have determined that this model actually is capable of using up to 16 GB of RAM with two 8 GB memory modules.

I just purchased ram from OWC, 16 GB for my new MacBook Pro non-retina display. It should run great; these folks from OWC no their stuff. I've never had any problems with their recommendations. I installed more ram on a previous MacBook Pro 2007 model which came with just 2GB and I raised it to 4GB and can still raise it up to 6GB if I wanted. But since I now have this new model; 16GB should make it run like a charm.

Best regards,

Jose

Will this ram work on MB Pro mid 2012 model?

I've always wondered why Apple does that with the RAM, saying that the minimum is 4GB but it's upgradable to 8GB when it's actually able to use 16GB of RAM instead!! lol Why is that u' think if Apple mentioned that they'd get more money that way...

EDIT: So are the 17" MBP Models discontinued now or what?? lol

@peter meter, Yes, they should fit.

What If there are 16GB RAM on one chip. Is there a chance of running 32GB of RAM?

Julian,

No. The motherboard will only be able to use 16GB. Actually, it will only see 16 out of the 32 GB.
