Know before you buy
No, this is a SO-DIMM module, which is specifically designed for laptops, NUCs, and small form factor systems. Standard desktop motherboards require larger DIMM modules.
Check your laptop manufacturer’s specifications or your processor's memory support page. If your system supports DDR4 but runs at a slower speed, this module will typically downclock to match your system's maximum supported frequency.
Yes, this module includes Intel XMP support. However, your laptop's BIOS must also support XMP profiles to manually enable the advertised speed and latency settings.
You can, but for the best stability and performance, it is recommended to match the capacity, speed, and latency of your existing module. If you mix speeds, the system will default to the speed of the slowest stick installed.
No, this module operates at a standard 1.20V and does not include a heat spreader. It is designed to run efficiently within the thermal constraints of standard laptop chassis.
No, this is non-ECC, unbuffered memory. It is intended for consumer-grade laptops and small form factor PCs, not for servers or workstations that require Error Correction Code memory.
