Crucial 8GB, 260-pin SODIMM, DDR4 PC4-19200,

If you're struggling with deciding on what memory to purchase, know this... Crucial is one of THE BEST memory manufacturers out there. Low cost, high compatibility and more.Some people will go crazy and try to install the fastest ram possible, at a huge sacrifice in the cost. By that I mean, not just purchasing PC2400 memory their laptop won't run PC2666, but then pay for the lowest CAS as well.The main thing with memory is, ALWAYS, the following:Rule #1 - Know the maximum system specs and type of ram memory you can run in your laptop or motherboard.Rule #2 - BUY IN PAIRS! Don't buy 1 stick of 16GB worth of memory and run in single channel mode, when 2x8gb can run faster in dual-channel instead. Paired memory is also identical in every spec, chipset, manufacturer and date made.Rule #3 - When adding memory, like 1 stick added to a 2 stick maximum fill slot on a laptop, make sure you match up to the specs of the current memory installed. If you are uncertain, you can download CPU-Z, for free, and it will tell you the specs of that ram, speed, serial number, timings and all else.Rule #4 - More expensive is NOT better, especially when bought from places outside of Amazon (1st choice) or NewEgg (2nd choice if Amazon doesn't have it OR extraordinary sale price makes it a no-brainer (like a holiday weekend sale).Rule #5 - READ REVIEWS and by adding YOUR computer system/model/spec to the search term. SO, don't go to Google and type, "Is Kingston Memory Good?" NO, type, "Acer Nitro 5 AN-515-53 Kingston memory compatibility" and see if relevant hits come up with others who purchased similar memory. EVERY PRODUCT HAS A PURPOSE, otherwise, manufacturers WOULD NOT BE PRODUCING IT so that they can take a loss when nobody buys it. KNOW YOUR SPECS.That's about it. Oh, and as for memory and brands? I'm a Crucial, Kingston, Samsung chipset man myself, followed by G.Skill, Mushkin, Corsair, after in terms of Brands that use them.PS - Amazon driver delivered our package to the wrong door, after waiting for it all day on 1 day Prime. Could have installed it earlier today but the photo came through and we realized it was our neighbor from up the street.

I bought this for my son's old HP laptop. He only had only 8 GB RAM to begin with. So, I upgraded to 16GB RAM using this. Installed two 8GB RAM into his existing laptop. His PC is running faster and just flies through his online classes. Glad I upgraded rather than buy a whole new laptop.

Shipping was as expected and material provided in package was helpful. RAM fit in my Yoga 730 and the extra ram showed up right away installed RAM and 15.8 usable RAM. So happy, can tell performance right away. Couldn't be happier.

Works just like it’s supposed to. I bought the 8GB to add on to my own 8GB to make a 16GB dell laptop.Tips for installation, you may or may not see it work at first. Try moving them around slots. Try it multiple times. Eventually it should work, and on windows you’ll get a “Alert: change in memory” or something like that and that’s when you know it worked.Performance difference: I would say there was a HUGE difference because I obviously doubled my ram., but overall my laptop feels snappier and multitasks better. You can probably run some high end programs and maybe even edit videos. 16 GB is plenty enough. The stick has worked fine. Crucial really knows how to make their memory products

Perfect upgrade for a Dell 5379 running Manjaro KDE (Linux).Popped this in, booted up and recognized right away. I picked this as it was listed on Crucials site as "guaranteed compatible" with my laptop.It is running at the advertised speeds and matches what was already in the laptop in terms of specs.If you have to upgrade and need this type of RAM, I'd recommend it. If however you can wait, DDR4 RAM is very expensive right now. Its about 2x what the price on DDR4 was about 1-2 years ago. I got this @ ~$80 at the time of this writing (while DDR4 in general was expensive).If you plan to buy it, make sure it is listed as compatible by your laptop or motherboard maker prior to purchase.

Excellent ram. Worked perfect in my new Asus laptop. Not much to say, ram either works or it doesnt but it was a good price and crucial has been around for ages and never disappoints. I bought a 15.6" full HD laptop on Amazon with a 7th gen i5, intel hd graphics, 3 usb and 1 usb 3.1 port, sd slot, and inside an M.2 ssd slot and regular sata port so I have a 500GB m.2 pci styoe ssd and a 1TB sata style ssd so laptop boots in 8 seconds and this 16GB ram made it much betterbso I can leave several appsnopen as well. A+

This ram was used in a 5566 Inspiron Dell Laptop and gives another year or two of life. My interest was to use Corel Painter 2020 so the gaming aspect was not the driving force for the upgrade. Crucial memory was an easy installation and while originally identified and ordered on their website, crucial was unable to deliver after a month of broken shipping promises. I finally ordered from Amazon the memory was delivered as promised. Exactly what was ordered, packaged well and met my expectations.

Not a fancy package, but search for an online video for installation instructions and anyone could install this extra ram. Put into laptop that was struggling to open programs and switch apps - noticeable improvement. went from up to half a minute to launch a browser back down to a couple seconds unless I have a bunch of apps open, even then it’s quicker. I bought two and replaced the one strip of stick ram. Very happy with the cost. It’s extra ram, it does what I expected.
