How is there 22 1 star reviews? does this really work or is it a cheap knock off?

The sticks that I received were Micron rejects: hence the 'S' logo stamped over the top of the Micron logo. It's clear why they didn't make the cut, and it's troubling that 1) the factory would sell off their rejects to another company for resale; 2) a vendor such as this has no morals and would sell a poor product and try to pass it off as sold by 'Apple'. For me the sticks were garbage; maybe others were lucky and got rejects that actually work. Seems like a gamble to me.

P.S. This RAM may have worked just fine with a PC, but Apple products tend to be more finicky, which is why I think I had so much trouble.

It was super easy to install and I've had mine in my Mac for about 9 months now with zero problems. The one star reviews are probably the result of a couple different effects: some people are not satisfied with anything, maybe their Mac has other problems and their knowledge of computers is lacking, etc. hope this helps

Mine works flawlessly!!! I have no complains at all. Good product for good price. Half of those 22 bad reviews are probably other sellers or guys who bought the wrong memory modules.

I tried 3 different times, none of which worked for my MacBook Pro. After 2 trips to the Genius Bar I gave up on this RAM, and bought from a certified Apple dealer, which worked beautifully the first time. The whole experience was such a pain and time waster and I didn't spend much more by going with the certified RAM. I say, save yourself the trouble.

I bought this for my Mid-2011 Macbook and I had to return it. It didn't work, got several black screens of death, so I decided to send it back and ordered this one insteadKingston Technology 8GB Kit (2x4 GB Modules) 1333MHz DDR3 SODIMM Notebook Memory for Select Apple iMac's and Macbook Pro's KTA-MB1333K2/8GWorked like a charm!!

well... almost positive it is ostensibly no. 6, however I am just as sure it is a knockoff. if the price is too good to be true, well... you know. it has a strong initial smell of alcohol, none of the nuance of the original and what is there is gone after 30 minutes. i'd steer clear and pay what it is worth at a department store, though wanting to roll the dice on a probable counterfeit is enticing, and hey it might even work just fine depending on what you need/expect it to do

You should be smart enough to ask the person selling this if you are seeking this sort of information and not disgruntled customers. It is advertised on this site as a "It Works" product. It appears to be the "It Works" product when it arrives in the mail and you can see it first-hand.

Yes it does work, I was surprised going in, well maybe skeptical going in that it wouldn't work, and it works perfectly, and I got it for a lot cheaper.

You dont...you return it and buy one that actually will work more than once. This may be cheap...but you get what you pay for. It's trash. I bought 3, and all were duds.

If you get one that works, it might, but that's probably unlikely. Notice this device has fifteen 1-star reviews, one 2-star, and only four positive reviews. I wouldn't trust anything expensive to it. These things are horribly made. If you're going to charge expensive gear, I recommend using something that gives you a constant voltage, like a battery pack.

Hi, what I Bought its ok. It's not a clone. However, keep in mind, an original product is about 300 $

It may have been true when you wrote it that none of the five-star reviewers had done any other reviews before, but that's certainly not now, though it's less than two weeks later. But that was never evidence that the 5-star reviews were fake, anyway. I understand why someone would be skeptical of such an iinexpensive product, but I do wonder how you could be so confident that this is a scam without having any direct experience with the product.

Who cares. If it works then you can add a review. If it doesn't, you can get your money back. Besides, no one is trying to skew the #1/2/3/4/5 seller ratings, and no one is trying to take advantage, especially for 17.95

All positive reviews are fake. Look for yourself, you get a free bottle if you give it a 5 star review, sendthefreebottle.com this means all the 5 stras got a free bottle of something that does not work.

Hi Rebecca, I am not advertising anything. I just gave a review. It's been month but I think I bought it for someone else. From other reviews online, it's just a gimmick. So it does not work as advertise, it's for gullible people and I was one.

Yes works really good. Good quality print and very cheap. Just follow instructions for maximum success.

Oh,this device I ordered a long time ago. It looked fake from the start. I did install it high where no one could get a close look at it. The weather was chilly and the batteries (top grade) lasted about a month. The battery change shown to be a bother. I took it down, disassembled it for its parts and discarded the rest. I realized over a years time if I did not invest 20 bucks in a battery recharger, batteries (aprox. cost $22.00) that I would spend a fortune to make the thing blink, Plus I would have to risk my life climbing a ladder to change the batteries 12 times a year. No I have found other like replacements that work very well. You get what you pay for.... Oh,this device I ordered a long time ago. It looked fake from the start.

I've wondered that myself. I bought the cheapest one and it works beautifully. Not one complaint.

Not sure about fake or what but it does work and work well. I have charged all kinds of batteries with it and have not had any issues.

There are many people that write deceiving reviews. Some are being paid and some are getting free product. For instance a person that gives 5-star reviews for three like products from three different companies the same day or within a couple of days. Saying for each, "nothing worked until I tried this". Also a variety of different products. It can take up are lot of time to do this research. Check the other $100's of various products reviewed at the same time. I have written down the names of 14 people that reviewed the same items around the same time, saying about the same thing. But not giving info that is significant.
