this is the first time i’ve been on the ifixit site but thanks to my google search of this topic, I found this and it is extremely simple and helpful. I haven’t actually done this yet but am confident I can once I get the replacement ram. I need my laptop to be a portable video editing work station and the stock ram on these will run premiere pro, just very very slowly.
