15 Minute RAM Upgrade

Project Completed: August 2014

When my brother’s computer (a MacBook Pro 13" Unibody Early 2011) started to lag, my dad decided to let me upgrade it instead of buying a new computer. Here is a time-lapse video of the whole process (as the title suggests, the upgrade took me 15 minutes in real time to execute):


I purchased (for the computer hardware):

• 16GB kit (8GBx2) DDR3 PC3-10600 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.35V for RAM.
• Samsung SSD 840 EVO for the hard drive

I also used:

• The iFixit Pro Tech Tool Kit
• www.ifixit.com ’s guidance
