Solder RAM in MacBook Pro 2013?

Question

macbook

She is there, they say, soldered on the board and cannot be replaced. What does it look like? Are these just sticks soldered somewhere or are they just chips soldered on the motherboard? In the first case, I see no reason not to solder to 16;) who thinks / knows / heard about this?

Answer 1

You can solder, it's not very difficult (the process itself), but it will be very expensive for you, incl. not worth it.

Answer 3

Everything is soldered only on the retinas. Do you have retina? If not retina then see @sanchezzzhak 's answer .
And in knocking with a retina - I don’t even know how to help :-) In my case, this (everything is soldered on one board) was the reason for buying a non-retina macbook)

Answer 4

Look at the memory bar . You see black banks, in fact, memory. This is what it is. EMNIP, it's banal that they are soldered on the motherboard, as well as these cans are soldered on the bar. The controller does all the logic anyway, so it doesn't matter to him. In general, you can solder it, you just need bigger banks. If the controller supports, then everything is possible and will work. Only now ... It's not worth it. If everything is so bad, then most likely everything will run into a narrower neck and gigabytes will not help here. It is a common misconception that a lot of memory is good: the more memory, the more overhead for storing pages and its management. And it chews the CPU.
