RAM (Memory), Hard Drive, Graphics Card and Software Upgrades

One of the best ways to improve your computer’s performance at a reasonable cost is to give it a memory upgrade.  Extra memory will allow your computer to perform more tasks at a faster speed when using almost any application.  A memory upgrade can have a truly significant impact upon the speed at which you can work and Pro users in particular can expect much higher levels of productivity, especially when running demanding graphical, music, photo, video, 3D and database software such as the Adobe Creative Suite, Aperture, FInal Cut, FileMaker.

We offer memory upgrade options for all Apple Computers and most come with a free installation service (please see the lists below or contact service@macessentials.com for more information).
