Lol a coworker asked me if my model was a new Retina Display. The screen is really beautiful and viewing angles are second only to IPS panels.

Tried installing Mushkin PC3-8500 2x4GB RAM, no dice.

Freezes on start up. Sent an RMA request.

I have the same part number he has listed, and I wanted to pick up same day although hopefully the RMA process is not a pain...

I did trek over to Victoria once to buy something from him.

So how do you feel dona you like I will not be able to use the AirPlay feature in Mountain Lion for our 2010 MBP?

That's a bit odd that they don't work.

Have to tried removing and re-inserting them?

A bit disappointed but it is what it is. I still have a good system, with an SSD and upgraded RAM it just flies.

Yea I have, tried just one, then the other as well. I sent in an RMA request that evening and the next day I got a new set that worked just fine. No more slow downs when I have many apps open. The slow downs were a bit better when I had the SSD in. AutoCAD is using a whopping 880MB of memory.

I am REALLY glad I got a Pro and not an Air. I would've been stuck with 4GB of RAM, as that would've been the maximum in a refurb 2011 or I wouldn't have had the insight to upgrade to 8GB with the 2012. I'd probably go 16GB with a 2012 MacBook Pro.
