    Cost for AASP to upgrade RAM?

    Does anyone know how much an AASP would charge? I want to buy a Mac Mini as my first Mac ever. I'm considering the i5, 16GB, 256GB version for photo editing. But since the RAM is upgradeable, I want to save some money for now and settle for the 8gb version and upgrade later. I know I can upgrade...

    Why Macbook Pro 2018 consuming so much RAM?

    Hi, how should I run my MacBook pro smoothly? I used to have Mid 2011 Macbook pro, lately, that Mac got very slow when I work on Lightroom (especially when was using the adjustment brushes). So I just updated it to Macbook Pro 2018, I see it fast but not what I expected. I don't understand why...

    15" battery life, 16GB/560X vs 32GB/555X?

    I have a question regarding these two. If I understand correctly Apple put in a bigger battery in the 2018 15" to handle DDR4 RAM. So would 32GB use less or more power vs going with 16GB and potentially maxing it out and using swap memory? I have a choice between two refurb models, 16GB/560X...

    Guide to replacing RAM in a 2018 Mac Mini

    I posted this over in the big thread discussing whether or not the RAM in a 2018 Mac Mini is user replaceable, but since it might get lost over time, I thought I'd share it as it's own thread. Here's a write up I did on how to replace/upgrade the memory inside a 2018 Mac Mini...

    URGENT: Is 8GB ram sufficient? Opinions needed :)

    Hi everyone, I have come across a very good and limited (5 units) sale for an almost new MBP 2018 with 8GB of RAM. I'd aim for 16GB, but the deal I can get is only for the base Touchbar model (but with 512GB storage). I know a lot of you guys know more about this stuff than I do, so I really...

    This C|Net article claims that replacing the mini RAM requires a trip to an Apple service center.

    In the third paragraph it states "But like most Apple products, it's not really end-user upgradable, requiring a trip to a service center. This undercuts one of the perks, namely being able to buy less expensive memory elsewhere" https://www.cnet.com/reviews/apple-mac-mini-2018-preview/

    Hi everybody :) I’m about to purchase a MacBook Pro 13” without Touch Bar and as the title says I have this doubt, for a web developer (full stack if that matters) what is the upgrade that makes more sense? 16Gb RAM or the i7 processor? Knowing that I can’t afford both ..D’uh :rolleyes: Thanks
