Made for Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules built to the exact specification Apple used in the 13-inch MacBook Pro released in mid 2010. It is intended for owners of that model who want to reach the machine's maximum supported memory without guessing compatibility.

Unbuffered 204-pin sticks with major-brand chips

The modules are unbuffered, non-ECC and carry no heat spreader, so they slide straight into the two factory SO-DIMM slots. Major-brand DRAM chips and a CL7 7-7-7 timing at 1.5 V match the original electrical profile, meaning the Mac recognises them at boot with no firmware changes.

1066 MHz DDR3 is the decisive spec

The MacBook Pro 13 mid 2010 memory controller is locked to DDR3-8500 at 1066 MHz; faster or slower modules will either down-clock or fail to post. This kit matches that single speed exactly, so it is the correct part only for that generation of MacBook Pro.

Questions about this item

Does the PC3-8500 DDR3 1066MHz rating cap the real-world bandwidth on the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13?

The kit runs at DDR3 1066 (PC3-8500), which is the maximum speed the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 memory controller supports, so the modules will operate at their rated 1066MHz without downclocking.

Will these 204-pin SO-DIMMs physically fit the two memory slots in a MacBook Pro 13 from Mid 2010?

Yes, each module is a standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM without a heat spreader, matching the exact form factor required by the two SO-DIMM slots in the Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro.

What is the correct installation sequence for the two 4GB sticks, and which step do people most often get wrong?

Power off completely, remove the bottom case, release the side clips on both slots, insert each stick at the same angle until the gold contacts disappear, then press down firmly until both clips click — the step most often missed is pressing hard enough to fully seat both modules so the clips engage.
