Over the years, it has been disputed as to how much RAM this particular laptop could support. Some third parties have determined that this MacBook can support up to 16GB of RAM but others have claimed that this laptop can only support up to 8GB. However, despite what many people thought about this laptop only being able to support 8GB of RAM, it is proven that this MacBook can, and is perfectly capable of, supporting up to a maximum of 16GB of SODIMM DDR3 RAM at 1600MHz.
