      It’s the memory interface and pinout. Lucky for most of us, you weren’t the first to think of it. Look it up :)

      I thought memory modules contained an extra chip telling the computer what the chip and module properties are, so the north bridge or CPU can provide the right voltage, timing and address decoding. Thus when Apple soldered the memory, there would either be a similar chip or the equivalent data would be in another firmware chip. And since the information includes electrical properties of the PCB itself, someone would need to figure out the data for each combination of Apple board and unofficial chips. Update: In the second half of this video, he does in fact reprogram that tiny flash chip.

    The first part of your awesome video (unsoldering the 4 RAM chips four times) reminds me of when I was 10 years old and my father took me to the theater to see his favorite "star" Frank Sinatra, in Oceans 11.
    Being a geek, I loved the scenes where they were using the invisible paint to setup the casino for the big robbery AND when they repeated those sequences in each of the other 3 casinos being setup to be robbed on New Years Eve at the stroke of Midnight.
    Of course, you have modernized this repeated activity with time-lapse photography!

    I still run a MacBook Pro from mid-2012; I also updated to 16 GB years ago, which also wasn’t a standard from Apple which shows maxed specs at 8 GB. You can also modify/modernize the mid-2012 machines to use PCIE Gen 3 NVME SSDs along with allowing them to accept two 2.5” HDDs or SSDs, though this does require the elimination of the DVD drive; you can also upgrade the WiFi to AC. With a Pentium Core i7 these computers can compete with plenty of modern computers in running OSX, Windows, or Linux, with the exception of OSX 11+ and Windows 11 as Apple and Microsoft have established hardware restrictions/limits on these newer operating systems.

With today's technology and incredible performance, you could totally pack a portable supercomputing powerhouse with, like, 50 compute nodes into a 10KG package! Upgrade everything in it! Have amazing expansion! Sure, it's 'portable'!
      Consumer demand dictates the products we consume. The majority of consumers like thin. light designs, made from premium materials and enclosures with as few visible seams as possible. Finishing a flagship phone in plastic today would never happen. Even if it also had a battery with alien tech and was last on the charger when dinosaurs roamed the earth. 'Yes, it's amazingly resistant to shattering! It even bounces!'
      Every product has compromises - introducing removable batteries and upgradeable anything again means increasing product weight or thickness. Or, compromises in material choice, fit and finish, price, etc. Absolutely product lifespan/ease of replaceable components should again be reconsidered, but the consumers aren't going to be as willing to adopt such when we've been so spoilt already.

    It's truly stunningly impressive to see a 10 year old machine rocking as much RAM as my current 2021 MacBook Pro M1 Pro does as a base model, and how quickly it boots. Also learned that 2012 MBA boards *aren't* limited to 1333MHz memory; as I suspected they can take 1600MHz just like the later years do.
    Direct question to dosdude 1 actually; I believe that on 2015 15" MacBook Pro Retina models the maximum is 16GB, which mine already has installed, is that right? I always wondered if it could be taken to 32GB but it appears 16GB is the hard limit for a lot of models in the 2011-2015 Core i5/i7 era.

    (Upgrading onboard memory from 8 to max its now hard to do but wheni find this holder it will be possible and easy)

    It is impressive that and how you pulled that off...
    But what tasks will be run on a Mid-2012 MacBook Air which require 16 GB of RAM?

    Apple: We can't offer a 16gb macbook air, it's physically impossible.

    Dude, this is so awesome, well done! I’m wondering if it would be possible to upgrade the RAM of an M1 Mac with this method?

    Very well done again. Why virtual though? There is an electric separation between the chip banks. It's not like the modules are being emulated from one 16gb bank...
