Which laptops accept this RAM?
Any laptop with a DDR4 SODIMM slot running at 2666 MT/s or higher. The module is JEDEC-standard and down-clocks automatically if your laptop's CPU/chipset runs slower. We have personally tested it in Asus ROG Strix G15, TUF Gaming F15, VivoBook 15 and ZenBook 14. WhatsApp 0314 4000131 with your laptop model and we'll confirm before shipment. See pair this with an SSD upgrade for the full memory catalogue.
How to confirm DDR4 vs DDR3
Run Crucial System Scanner or open Task Manager > Performance > Memory. The exact type is shown. DDR4 SODIMMs have the notch in a different position from DDR3, so the two are not interchangeable.
How much RAM does a 2026 laptop actually need?
- 4 GB: obsolete. Windows alone uses 2-3 GB. Avoid for any productivity use.
- 8 GB: fine for office, Chrome (up to 10 tabs), light photo editing, casual gaming.
- 16 GB: sweet spot for 2026 — handles Chrome 30+ tabs, Photoshop, video calls, Visual Studio, light gaming all at once.
- 32 GB: for video editors, 3D modellers, machine-learning students, gamers with many background apps.
Single stick or matched pair?
If your laptop has two SODIMM slots, two matching modules in dual-channel mode are noticeably faster than a single stick of the same total size — especially on iGPU-based laptops where the graphics chip shares system memory. We sell matched 2 x 8 GB and 2 x 16 GB kits at a small premium and recommend them whenever your laptop allows two slots.
Installation
Power down, remove the bottom cover, find the SODIMM slots (typically two stacked vertically). Press down on the metal clips to release any existing module, then push the new module in at a 30° angle and press flat until the clips snap. Reassemble and boot — Windows will detect the new RAM automatically. See DDR4 and DDR5 SODIMM stock for dual-channel kits.

Frequently asked questions
Will this 8GB DDR4-2666 module fit my Dell Latitude 7490?
Yes — the Latitude 7490 has two DDR4 SODIMM slots running at 2400 MT/s. This module is downward compatible. WhatsApp 0314 4000131 with your exact model to confirm.
DDR4-2666 vs 3200 — which should I buy?
If your laptop's CPU supports 3200 MT/s (most 10th-gen+ Intel and Ryzen 4000+ models), buy 3200 — it down-clocks if needed and you have a faster spare for future builds. If you're on an older 7th-9th gen Intel machine, 2666 is fine and slightly cheaper.
Should I use single-channel or dual-channel?
Always dual-channel where possible. Two matching SODIMMs give roughly 10-25% real-world performance gain over a single module, especially in iGPU gaming and video editing. Ask us about matched kits.
Is this a used pull?
Yes — pulled from working laptops, tested for stability before resale. Carries 15-day check warranty.
How long does laptop RAM last?
DDR4 has no moving parts. In practice, well-cooled SODIMMs last 10-15 years without degrading. The lifetime warranty on new sticks reflects this.
