    Default New Life for my Mac



    I recently noticed that my macbook's battery will be needing replacement so I decided to aside from replacing my battery I'm also thinking of tweaking my RAM and my hard drive. Youtube videos helped me understand the procedures but I do not know where to purchase RAM and an SSD. I'm planning on upgrading my 4gb RAM to 8gb and my HDD to an SSD. Please help me

    go to tipidpc.com and type in whatever you're looking for in the search field. they've got a lot of the items that you need there.
    The probability of anything happening is directly proportional to its desirability.

    Thank you for your reply, I was hoping fellow mac-users will suggest trusted brands or shops for the items that I need.

    I use Gskill ram for 2 of my MBP. Just this week I changed one of my MBP's primary drive into Crucial M4 SSD and used the cheap HDD caddy for the secondary drive.
    There are plenty of sellers in tipidpc, just check their transaction feedback history before buying. HTH

    @Frey,

    I have had good experiences with Louie of TPC. A little search on the PhilMUG database will yield great results.

    hi Frey! just text him or better yet call him on his landline number (on his account and ayoscomputer account on tpc)

    I dealt with him 3 times already (16gb ddr3-1333 for a MBP, 8gb ddr-1333 for a toshiba laptop and lenovo s10-3) and had no problems with the memory i bought

    Good luck!

    If you can source it from the US, now is the best time to get an SSD. 128gb samsung 830 and crucial M4 are at all time low of $99.
