Why upgrade your RAM?

There are a few reasons why upgrading the RAM on your MacBook Pro can make it even more, well, pro. RAM is your computer’s brainpower for on-demand tasks. Your computer uses RAM to temporarily store information for anything it’s currently doing — like loading web pages, sending emails, running apps, and more. That’s why RAM stands for “random access memory” — it’s where your computer keeps the info that it needs for whatever it’s working on.

Upgrading your RAM lets your computer perform more demanding tasks or handle more tasks at once without suffering any performance hiccups. When it comes to speeding up your Mac, a RAM upgrade is one of the best ways to do it.

But choosing to do it yourself is not without risks. Any time you open up your computer to tinker around with its guts, you risk damaging sensitive components. And if you do cause any damage, you’ll probably void Apple’s warranty.

If you’d prefer to sidestep those potential challenges, optimize your computer with a tune-up instead. AVG Antivirus Subscription will boost your Mac’s performance with no RAM upgrades required. Free up disk space and get automatic maintenance to have your Mac running like new.
