My clients MacBook boots up 2 minutes faster than before. Google chrome runs great with multipe tabs now. Before it would just sit there with the spinning beach ball and never open a second tab.
The value of this memory is excellent. Apple charges a very high preimium for memory and this is atleast half the price for the same quality of.
I only gave this product 3 stars on the good for gaming question because i couldnt really test it for gaming on a Mac since Mac games are not really memory intensive. But what games and apps i did run ran great and any app or game from the app store should run great.
I would recommend this Memory 100%

So here's the low-down of how it went.
Husband had the stock RAM (2 sticks of 4GB RAM = 8GB, two open slots) and he ordered two extra 4GB RAM sticks from SimplyMac to fill the two open slots. It worked just fine, but he decided he wanted more power.
So he ordered this RAM, 32GB of it. Took out the power cable, inserted his house key in the slot to pop off the RAM cover, inserted the 4 sticks of RAM into each slot, popped the RAM housing back in so the cover would close all the way, put on the cover, plugged it in, and pressed the power button. Nothing. ....weird. Pressed the power button again. Nothing.
So he shut it down, pulled the plug out, used his key to open the RAM housing, took them out, and re-seated them thinking maybe they weren't put in correctly. They were all the way in, not upside-down or anything, so he put them back in again, closed everything up, plugged it back in, tried to power it on... Nothing.
So he did the same thing again to get the RAM out, and just to make sure his computer wasn't somehow broken, he put the old RAM back in. It turned on. Phew, okay, we didn't f*** it up. Lol.
Turn it around, open the housing, take out the old RAM, and this time try putting in half new and half old. It booted up, though it took longer than expected, and when he booted it up he went to the Apple menu > About This Mac and confirmed it was saying it had 24GB of ram (8+8+4+4) so all the RAM cards were indeed hooked up and the computer WAS recognizing them.
Okay. So they're working. This means the computer is probably being stubborn and after more trial and error it should work. Shut down, turn it around, unplug, open the RAM housing, take out the 2 default sticks of RAM, put in the other two new ones, close it all up, plug it back in, turn it back around, press the power button... anddddd this time it beeped, when it didn't before. So it was saying something's wrong, but still not booting.
If my memory serves me correctly, he tried putting back in a stock RAM stick one more time and it booted, then he put all Corsair RAM in it, and then it FINALLY WORKED!
He was doing NOTHING differently. Same exact thing, every single time, and it just took several tries to finally get it to work.
It has successfully powered down and restarted multiple times. There's not much of a difference in boot-up time between when he had 16 gigs (stock+aftermarket) and 32 gigs (all Corsair), however, some processing does seem to be having noticeable improvement. We watch lots of anime shows that download in .mkv format and have separate subtitle/audio/video titles and he converts those to a different file format before we watch them, and he was able to convert a full episode (HD, with subtitles, into a significantly smaller file) in about 2-3 minutes. Not exactly sure how long it took before, but he estimates it's about 30% faster than it used to be.
So far, are we happy with the investment? Husband says "Yeah, definitely." :)
I figured I should post this in case it's a common occurrence for other people like the guy in the reviews who said he put it in his Mac Mini and it beeped. It's entirely possible that if that guy tried taking it out and putting it back in a couple of times that it would have worked. I honestly don't think he was doing it wrong. My husband was doing it right and didn't change anything at all in the way he was installing the RAM between when it wasn't and when it was working. So, if it happens to you, don't give up on the first try!
I added a 1TB SSD and it’s faster than when I first got the computer. Now my computer turns on in 30 seconds.... Amazing upgrade. I can do heavy load editing and production on this now.
