Samsung 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM Memory Module 8 GB 1600 MHz - Memory Modules (8 GB, 1 x 8 GB, DDR3, 1600 MHz, 204-Pin SO-DIMM)

I ordered this for my Asus something or other that only had 4 something or other and I was going to pull my hair out and laugh at the same time because of the slowness of the laptop. Consulted my self proclaimed genius nephew for his advice and he told me to buy this. Price was right, although the shipping took longer than normal prime. It came faster than accepted so that made me happy. I was going to wait until my tech savvy friend was available to help me install the cards but I was so delirious about having such a slow computer that I took it upon myself to do it. I had her on the phone. It made me feel better. It was moral support. And yes, she laughed as I worked and cheered and yayed myself on.Three little screws on the bottom on the computer were easily removed but the cover was removed tenderly as I felt if I used my full force it would snap into a million pieces. It didn't. There are a couple of clips in the plastic that had to be maneuvered. Then there are metal clips on each side of the cards. I tried pushing on the cards to make them come up. Didn't work. I tried wiggling the cards. Didn't work. I then remembered the review I read when I bought the laptop. The metal clips pop out on either side. Viola! It worked. Old cards were removed and the new ones were placed into position. There is a little notch in the cards that will show you which way the cards need to be placed. Then metal clips were put back into position and cover was popped back on. I turned the lap top on and it was a smidge faster. As I used it, I noticed it getting faster and faster. I got happier and happier. As the final step, the screws for the cover were placed back in. It was a success. The computer in maxed out on memory something or other.So to someone that knows enough about computers to know it's running way too slow but not enough to feel comfortable changing parts, this part is easy enough for you. Even if your friend is on the phone for moral support, you can do this. You can change this. I have faith in you. If I can do it, you can do it. And feel free to call for moral support.

Excelente!

Bought this RAM as a Christmas gift for my mother so that we could upgrade he ACER Aspire laptop. The laptop originally came with only 6 GB of RAM, in a 4 GB and 2 GB stick configuration, so response time for many programs and tasks was rather slow. Upgrading to a full 16 GB of RAM has made her latop much snappier when it comes to running multiple programs and tasks, especially since she browses using Google Chrome with multiple Tabs open on it.For people unaware, Google Chrome is a memory hog once you start getting multiple Tabs open in it. 16 GB of RAM easily handles this with plenty of memory left open to run multiple other tasks and programs at the same time. This has been particularly noteworthy since she is using the laptop everyday as she works from home and has to have at least 4 other programs open alongside Google Chrome to do her work efficiently. I had offered to build her a new desktop computer for her home office when she started working from home, but she declined preferring to use a laptop instead.I also coupled this upgrade to the RAM with the addition of a M.2 SSD as a new Boot Drive for her so now her laptop feels blazing fast whenever she uses it.

I tossed these into my wife's ancient i7-powered ASUS, and it went from a capable but somewhat sloggy worker to a breathtakingly powerful lap-deity. The only drawback is you have to have a plan for dealing with all the drooling you'll be doing into your poor, crumby keyboard.If you have a decent older laptop you'd like to breathe new life into, get this first, then a nice fat SSD. It won't make your laptop into a gaming beast of course, especially if you've got so-so onboard graphics. But what it will do is make your machine zippy as hell. No more time-obliterating hanging while switching between resource-intensive applications.And honestly, i know we all love to badmouth Samsung here and there (not me, i've never had a bad Samsung product in my life, including some weird things you probably didn't even know they made - get a Samsung window A/C unit and thank me later), but their stuff really is solid af.Inevitable disclaimer: know your specs; respec your specs. Do not deviate from optimum values in any regard, my babies. Measure twice, cut none.

I pulled my old Toshiba Satellite out of storage and it refused to boot up. After a lengthy process of elimination, I discovered the culprit was a failing RAM card. I honestly didn’t expect to find a replacement, but not only did I find the exact brand to replace it, I also found the upgrade! The laptop is back up and running, and I’ve discovered a joy for rebuilding my old electronics.

My 6 year old Dell Latitude E5540 came with 4GB of RAM. It had gotten so slow I couldn't hardly use it. This Samsung Memory fit the Specs perfectly so I decided to give it a try. The memory I received was genuine Samsung memory and arrived quicker than expected. It was super easy to install. My laptop booted right up with nothing else to do on my part. WOW!!! What a difference. It really is as though I have a new laptop. It runs great now. I am amazed that all it took was a memory upgrade to improve the performance this much. I am no longer in the market for a new laptop.

Put these sticks in my mother's HP all-in-one PC to upgrade from 6GB. The computer was struggling handling the latest Windows 10 update and the endless browser tabs my mom has open at any given time. When I tried logging in as a second account it was unusable. After doing a factory reset on the OS with no change, my last ditch attempt to salvage it was too throw in more memory. After installation, the new memory was recognized and upon logging in I could immediately see that it was a million times better. I did one more factory reset to see if the memory would be further optimized. After putting it throw the ringer for a few days and can it's running better than new!
