PNY Performance 8GB DDR4 2400MHz (PC4-19200) CL17 1.2V Notebook/Laptop (SODIMM) Computer Memory – MN8GSD42400

The ram works and does increase the performance on my laptop. PNY usually a pretty well trusted brand. After several weeks of using this ram, I have not seen any issues with this device. The specification for this ram is as followed 8GB DDR4 2666 Mhz. In terms of gaming, this will work for that purpose as well. I put this into my gaming laptop and it works great. I personally like the simple look of it and the black board makes it really look blended into my laptop. It is pretty light to hold compared to the other bigger ram sticks. If you are planning to use this as a single stick in your laptop, this will work just fine. It is pretty easy to install. One thing to note is that you should unplug your computer before changing the ram. Also make sure that you discharge yourself (touch metal) before handling to avoid static damage. It does not require any additional installation or setting changes (at least on my end) to make this work. Again the most important thing is to make sure you unplug your computer from the power before you install this to avoid any problems. It is just simple ram that has a pretty fast performance. I just use this to upgrade my older gaming laptop and it helped with the overall lag of the computer. It provides me with extra ram to be a little more future proof. As a single stick, it is more than enough ram to surf the web, watch videos. I use this for gaming and it also worked just fine. Be aware that for most gaming laptop, 8 gb will be a bit of a bottle neck. There are no real heating issues with no heat sink. It performs pretty well. The packaging for open box is not that great as it was not even taped into the anti static bag so it fell out and was rolling all in the mailer. Overall this is a very cheap and inexpensive ram to have (considering our chip shortage). It performances is strong. It is great as a single stick (although 8 gb is a bit low for gaming laptops) or for an additional stick. I have actually added this to my gaming PC and it worked just fine with all the other ram.

I rarely write reviews, but thought this is important enough to warrant helping others.Since I was concerned about ordering more memory that was not listed as "compatible with iMac" or "made for iMac", but wanted to save some money over those hyped brands, I thought that I'd add my comments about my experience with PNY.My iMac originally came with two 4G memory sticks. I bought two PNY 32G, DDR4, 2666 Mhz memory sticks in separate packages. At first I replaced just one 4G with one new 32G, figuring that the other one is still new in the package for return in case something went wrong. The iMac booted up after about 30 seconds, I clicked the "About This Mac" and it recognized both cards running 2667 (actually) Mhz for a total of 36G. Second round, I replaced the other 4G with the 32G and put both 4G back into the other remaining slots 1 and 3 hoping that maybe it would run all of the them. Well as expected and as noted by others, they were all running fine but at lower 2166 Mhz. So third round, I removed the two 4G leaving just the two 32Gs in slots 2 and 4, and rebooted again. In "System Report", then "Memory", it's indicated that two 32Gs are running at 2667 Mhz and all is well.I'm not a gamer, so I cannot comment on peak performance. Everything is working fine after installing.I only noticed one other review that had tried PNY with a similar iMac, so here I am. Hope this helps and saves you some money!

I purchased a second hand Lenovo Thinkbook 14 that did not have the DIMM slot populated. The laptop only had 4 GB of ram soldered to the board.Installing this stick was very simple and easy, and it bumped up my ram to a total of 20 GB.The stick was perfectly compatible with my laptop, as the max speed of the laptop and stick are both 2667 Hz.This stick made my laptop much more capable, and I am very satisfied with this purchase.

It’s a great performing memory, and the price was nice as well. PNY has been a good product for me since 2002. I’ve only used their memory and GPU’s, and in my latest build I have their RTX 4060, which is a beast. This memory I got for an old laptop to stretch its life out a little longer.

I have the Lenovo 4 flex pad Laptop with 4GB ram, running windows 10. Well most of the time it was using 3.9 GB of ram which made things sluggish and many time it needed like 6MB. And that will jam you up. So I saw this PNY (a brand which has treated me well over the years) for about the price of a Large Pepperoni Pizza. 16GB is the max the Lenovo can use and it only has the one port. I put it in and it instantly recognized and increased to 16GB. Things run fast and smooth now. One of the best improvements, especially cost wise. The deal with this upgrade however, is that you are not changing a lightbulb here, If you know much about computer repair not just hooking one up, maybe how to change spark plugs on a car or install a garage door opener, or especially if you used to put together those little plastic model kits, then maybe you can do this. It requires several small screws to be removed (smaller then a grain of rice), a heat shield plate removal, then a switch out of the module by unhinging retainer clips. So it's not the easiest thing, maybe watch a YouTube video on it first to see what you think about the difficulty level.

These were installed in a 2020 27-inch Apple iMac. Updgraded from 8 GB to 72 GB of ram. There are several videos on how easy it is to install. However, none of the videos told you that you needed to wait at least 30 seconds after you press the power button. Kept thinking the ram wouldn’t work because it didn’t boot up as quickly as normal.We installed the new ram in slots 1 and 2 and the old ram in slots 3 and 4. Works as expected. Just make sure you wait at least 30 seconds for the computer to boot up after installing the ram. This only happens the first time after installing it. It boots up quickly after the first time.

The memory works as it should. Linux recognized it just fine, and for the price it's really a good buy if you want to improve the performance of the computer.
