    You can buy and install the RAM yourself. Your MBP has 2 user-accessible RAM slots. RAM specs: 1333MHz SODIMM 1.35V. Max of 16GB (2x8GB modules).

    Search niyo po sa IFS: \"1333 SODIMM\". The Crucial kit is the best option.

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade your MBP\'s GPU.
  • Sorry, but what is IFS? hehe newbie lang po here.

    Max of 16GB? Pero ang sabi po kasi sa apple website hanggang 8GB lang po ang max ng late 2011 model.

  • Okay thanks, eh ang GSkill po ba hindi preferred?
  • mahal nyan :)
  • ayos lang may budget ako hehehe
  • how much ganyan?

    1.5V kasi yung mga G.Skill SODIMM modules, although may mga Mac-certified G.Skill modules naman so I guess gagana naman sa MBP mo. But Crucial is a really solid brand that manufactures its own RAM chips, unlike G.Skill which buys the chips from different manufacturers. Kung konti lang naman ang difference sa presyo, dun ka na sa Crucial 1.35V. :)

    Western Digital Scorpio Blue, Samsung, Seagate, etc. Any 2.5\" laptop HDD will work as long as the height is 9.5mm or less (usually 9.5mm or 7mm).
  • @Helly

    I\'ll take note of that.

    16GB max (2x8GB) po ang kaya ng MBP Late 2011, regardless of what the official specs say. :)

    Hard drive caddy. Yup, puwede yan sa MBP.
