Laptop RAM buying guide: slots, type and speed
Three things about your laptop decide which RAM to buy: whether it has a free slot, which DDR generation it takes, and the memory speed it runs.
1. Check your laptop can take more RAM
Many thin laptops have their memory soldered to the board, and some have no slot at all. Others mix the two. Lenovo's spec sheet for the IdeaPad Slim 3 (15IRH10) lists one version with 8GB soldered plus one DDR5 SO-DIMM slot, and another with just one slot (Lenovo). The Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 has two DDR5 SO-DIMM slots and takes up to 32GB (Lenovo).
Look up your model's spec sheet, or check in Windows under Task Manager, Performance, Memory. Slots used: 1 of 2 means there's a free slot. If you can't tell, call us with the model number.
2. Laptop RAM is SO-DIMM, and generations don't swap
Laptops take short SO-DIMM modules, which don't fit desktop slots. Each generation has its own layout too: Kingston's spec sheets list DDR3 laptop modules at 204 pins, DDR4 at 260 and DDR5 at 262. A DDR4 stick won't go into a DDR5 laptop, or the other way round.
Shop by type: DDR5 laptop RAM price in Nepal, DDR4 laptop RAM price in Nepal, and DDR3 RAM price in Nepal for older laptops.
3. Find out what's in it now
Task Manager's Memory page also shows the speed and form factor, and the speed is a clue to the type. JEDEC-standard DDR4 stops at 3200MT/s and DDR5 starts at 4800MT/s (Kingston), so a reading of 4800 or more points to DDR5 or LPDDR5. The label on the old stick settles it: PC5 means DDR5, PC4 means DDR4, and PC3L means low-voltage DDR3.
4. Match the speed, or go faster
Buy the speed your laptop is rated for. The spec sheet lists it next to the memory type; Lenovo gives DDR5-4800 for the LOQ 15ARP9, for example. A faster stick still works, but the laptop runs it at its own rated speed, so in that laptop you gain nothing from the extra speed.
5. Fill both slots for dual channel
Most laptop processors have two memory channels; Intel lists two for the Core i5-1135G7, for example. With one stick, only one channel is used. Fit a second stick of the same size and spec and the laptop runs in dual channel, with a 128-bit memory bus instead of 64-bit (Transcend).

Laptop RAM FAQ
Can I upgrade the RAM in my laptop?
Only if it has a SO-DIMM slot. Thin laptops often have soldered memory that can't be changed. Check the spec sheet or Task Manager, or call us with your model number.
Can I use desktop RAM in a laptop?
No. Desktop DIMMs are longer and won't fit a laptop's SO-DIMM slot.
Will DDR5 RAM work in a DDR4 laptop?
No. DDR4 and DDR5 laptop modules have different pin counts and notches. Buy the type your laptop's spec sheet lists.
Can I add a stick to the RAM my laptop already has?
Yes, if there's a free slot. Match the DDR type and speed, and match the size too if you want dual channel.
Which laptop RAM brands do you sell?
ADATA, Crucial, Dahua, Kingston, Oscoo, Samsung, SK hynix, SP, Transcend and TRM. Every price on this page is our current website price.
