Technology KVR16LS11/4 4GB 1600MHz DDR3L PC3-12800 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM Intel Laptop Memory

Solid Upgrade for Older Laptops I picked up this Kingston 8GB DDR3L stick to breathe some new life into an older laptop, and it worked exactly as intended. Installation was straightforward—just pop open the memory bay, slot it in, and the system recognized it right away without any tinkering. The 1600MHz speed is more than enough for typical tasks, and I immediately noticed smoother multitasking and faster response when switching between programs. I also like that this module runs at 1.35V, which helps keep heat and power draw down—a nice benefit for laptops that already run warm. Build quality feels solid, as I’ve come to expect from Kingston, and there were no compatibility hiccups with my Intel-based system. Things to keep in mind: this is DDR3L, not DDR4, so it’s only suitable for older machines that support DDR3L SODIMM. Make sure to check before buying, since newer laptops won’t take it. Bottom line: A reliable, hassle-free upgrade that’s ideal if you want to extend the usefulness of an older laptop without breaking the bank.

Comment; I have not measured this Memory module impact on battery life (duration of charge), since I didn't measure how it was with the lesser size RAM and different brand module that it replaced, but at least it hasn't shortened battery life, so 5 starts there. This memory went into my wife's entry level, Office and Google Classroom dedicated entry-level laptop, which it doesn't have touch screen, so I'll give it 5 starts to avoid giving wrong negative impression. Installation is as easy as your device allows. Meaning, in my case I needed to remove the whole bottom cover, which is 15 small screws with a small Phillips screwdriver, the removing the installed memory module and inserting this one, taking care of preventing static discharge on your memory module and rest of computer parts, is really easy. in my case just pushing the side holders to free the first one, pulling it out carefully, inserting the new module (it only goes in one position) carefully, until the side holders click in place, and finally placing back and screwing the bottom cover with its screws. Some laptops have only a small cover to remove and reach for the memory location. The module was immediately recognized by the BIOS, and by Windows 10 (64 bits) and I'm attaching a picture of the received memory module as well as a couple of screen pictures to show you.

You can buy memory for a little bit less, or spend a lot more, but this piece was priced well and was an exact match for the memory in my Dell E7240. From experience I always like to have memory match when expanding, it can avoid strange problems if it does not. This is a brand I have used before and trust and it was an exact match so for me it was a simple decision to spend just a couple dollars more for a part I had 100% faith in. Also, this was sold by Amazon and I knew if there was an issue I would be dealing directly with them and that was one of the deciding factors. Installed in just two or three minutes, booted up perfectly and the computer runs great.... A+ on this one!

My laptop i got sometime around Christmas (http://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-17-3-Laptop-Computer/dp/B00G1SV1VM although i got mine from Best Buy) came with 4GBs of 1.35V RAM (the standard for most is 1.5V, though. it was most likely chosen for this laptop to save on battery power). I heard it's not very wise to mix RAM sticks with different voltages so i went on a hunt for another fairly priced 1.35v stick. Found this bad boy after a good while of searching and it was pretty much the best deal i was gonna get, so i went for it. The stick arrived close to a week later (i ordered on Friday, had to wait for the weekend to end for it to begin moving, and it came on Wednesday). I slapped it in, and all was ok from i could tell. Didn't really notice a big reduction in the time it took for the laptop to boot up, but then again, i never cared enough to compare. Anyway, because of the APU's reliance on dual channel memory, i saw some very nice increase in performance on most of my games. Games where i struggled to get higher than 20 FPS on lower resolutions and settings before the upgrade, i was able to get 30 and, in some cases, above on higher settings. Crysis 2 for instance now steadies around the low 30s, sometimes dropping below into the 20s from what i played(at 1280x720 on "low" settings if you can even call it that. seriously, the game looks amazing). Which is pretty great for a laptop i paid $400 for. Tomb Raider now also steadies around the low 30s, sometimes dropping down into the mid 20s at 1280x720 on medium setiings. Borderlands 2 runs pretty well also. Though i can't remember on what settings. exactly. So...Yeah. It was worth it.

I installed it with my old ram with no problems or compatibility issues. Asus k56cm incase anyone was wondering. My laptop is much more snappy with gaming and chrome billion tabs. No more memory full issues. Even though the ram is slightly faster it still works. The installation would of been a pain if I didn't already know I was going to change it since this laptop blocks 2nd memory port so you need to decase the damn thing to change memory. So I left the port open when I needed to change cmos battery and msata. Now my laptop is working like a boss again. I took a risk not knowing compatibility and it paid off. I'm a happy camper.

Placed in my laptop as an update with a new hard drive, works fine, no issues with installing and running fine to date.

Worked well on my Macbook pro early 2011! After some research I go for this DDR3L memory to use in my old macbook pro. Interestingly, Apple officially say that the maximum memory per slot is 4GB (therefore a maximum memory of 8GB). Also if you go to Kingston's website and check for the compatibility, it will say this memory module is NOT compatible with Macbook pro early 2011 (I am guessing it is because 2011 mac uses 1333MHz DDR3 spec). But as stated it works just fine on my macbook. It is backward compatible to 1333MHz, and the dual voltage means it can use in virtually all laptops that uses DDR3 SODIMM memory modules.

Es gibt in vielen Genres meist eine Art Platzhirsch. Bei Arbeitsspeicher dominiert die Firma Kingston und bietet seit Jahren beste Qualität. Was einem PC noch immer auf die Sprünge hilft (mehr als die schnellste Festplatte) ist der Arbeitsspeicher. Bitte hier keinesfalls am falschen Platz sparen. Wenn irgend möglich deshalb immer die vollen GB beim jeweiligen PC ausnutzen. Arbeitsspeicher steht für das 'Drehmoment' beim PC (wenn der Vergleich zu einem KFZ Motor gestattet sei) - davon kann man nie genug haben! RAM ist zig-mal schneller als die schnellste HDD, und je mehr davon zur Verfügung steht desto weniger muss die Festplatte bemüht werden (und schont diese dadurch zugleich - speziell bei SSD-Platten ein Thema). Und IMMER beide Bänke besetzen! Wird gespart, und nur eine Bank besetzt dann kastriert man automatisch das System. Ist zwar eine alte Weisheit; der Sicherheit aber sollte es lieber einmal zu viel erwähnt sein. Zudem vertragen es manche Marken (Arbeitsspeicher) oftmals nicht wenn nur eine (oder die 'falsche') Bank besetzt wird - sie Murren dann. Da der Arbeitsspeicher doch eine wesentliche 'Funktion' einnimmt sollten keine unnötigen Experimente eingegangen werden. Mit Kingston-Rams ist man mal auf der sicheren Seite. Bei mir seit nunmehr über 1-1/2 Jahren in einem Intel NUC Barebone System im Einsatz welches genaugenommen nur deswegen angeschafft wurde: um eben möglichst viel Speicher verbauen zu können ohne auf Herstellerkonfiguration angewiesen zu sein. Vorwiegend wird am PC intensive und speicherhungrige Bildbearbeitung ausgeführt. Vermutlich hätten es 8 GB auch getan aber die Megapixel von Digitalkameras werden nicht wirklich weniger; entsprechend auch nicht die Bilddateien - somit eine Investition in die Zukunft. Zudem sind genau diese RAM vom Hersteller Intel für den NUC empfohlen, getestet und freigegeben. Der NUC istda auch etwas empfindlich hinsichtlich der Spannungsversorgung. Im PC montiert, erkannt worden ... und seitdem nie wieder etwas von den Speichern gehört (im positiven Sinne). Funktioniert einfach. Interessant ist nur zu sehen dass die Speicher mittlerweile ca. das Doppelte kosten. Normalerweise ist ja eher umgekehrt ...

Foto zag er anders uit. Wist niet of ik een goede aankoop Had gedaan. Maar klopt precies wat ik in mijn computer heb. Dus ben zeer tevreden.
