What's great about it: Faster performance
Since the upgrade my machines and the larger programs start faster. The performance increase was not as noticeable as moving to an SSD drive, but the RAM upgrade was less than 25% of the cost of a new SSD.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Faster performance, especially with virtual machines
What's not so great: Takes longer to put system to sleep since it has to write 8 GB to the hard drive hibernation file
I have a mid-2009 15" MacBook Pro with 4 GB of RAM. I noticed that I was routinely running with less than 1 GB free, and noticed paging when I started a virtual machine or loaded a large program like iPhoto or Lightroom. Since the upgrade my virtual machines and the larger programs start faster. The performance increase was not as noticeable as moving to an SSD drive, but the RAM upgrade was less than 25% of the cost of a new SSD.

Bought a 2011 13" Macbook Pro. Installation was (pardon the pun) a "snap" literally :D Great value

What's great about it: Good price compared to the Mac store.
What's not so great: Packaging. Secure but very tight. I thought memory stick will snap.
Easy to install. Can't beat the price compared to the Mac store.

You can't argue with the price. Once I found the right screwdriver this took me less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Works great in a Mid-2009 MBP 13".

What's great about it: Price
Bought this to upgrade our two year old Macbook (Aluminum), which only had 2GB in it. Easy process, and the laptop felt like a new machine with no more beach ball of death. Great price for a big bump in performance.

I installed these into a Mac Mini - made in NOTICEABLY faster (but that was because I installed 4Xs the original amount of RAM). Very challenging to replace RAM on a Mac Mini but doable.
