Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] I bought these for my macbook pro years ago, it is still working great. I am buying again for my new laptop that has low memory. This will speed up my laptop very well.

This little device makes it possible to connect four stand alone disc and two musical instruments without having to choose between what to exchange next. Everything is just a click away.

Opened the package. Installed Memory. Turned on PC. All works just fine.

A MUST BUY IF YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ONLY 4GB I wish I could've bought 2, but sadly my stupid hp laptop maxes out at 8gb ram. I also paired this with a new SSD. 5* Would recommend.

Fit without any issue. Laptop runs much faster now

I talked to the best buy chat help. Gave them my laptops serial number, product number, and specs. Ordered it a month ago. Received it today. And it does not match my computer's design. The gold tabs gap that secures it to the computer, is too far left and does not fit my computer. I will be going to my local Best Buy. With images of the 8gb Ram currently in my laptop, and the one I bought. And I expect the store to be amendable to trading the one I bought online with the right one in store at no additional cost and regardless of the package being opened. I have no doubt that the ram itself works wonderfully for other devices it's designed for. But this is not built for a HP Laptop 15-da0xxx.

Refurnish and upgrade the RAM in old laptop. Working as expected.

Have an older computer that uses DDR3 and this was perfect.

I wanted to upgrade the 4gb ram in my HP laptop to 8gb. After researching, I decided to go straight to BestBuy for the PNY ram. Reviews were good and price was acceptable comparing to buying online. The sales person helping me actually said to me that most laptops won't accept this ram, and I could return it if I have an issue. I was hesitant but took a chance. I installed it, it seemed to work great for about 3hrs. Then my laptop went into a failure screen I have never seen before. My laptop tried for hours to "fix the problem". I gave up and re installed my old 4gb and problem solved. I really need to get a 8gb ram for my HP laptop to help me with my multitasking programs. I don't know what to do now. I gave this 2 stars because it worked for 3hrs, the salesman was honest (5 stars there) and returning it was a breeze (5 stars). Would be nice to see a comparability chart on the package so the customer doesn't have to take the 50/50 chance.

Worked great in old laptop that only had 4 gigs of ram

Great technology, easy to use, highly recommended!

Man, let me tell you about this PNY 8GB DDR3 laptop memory upgrade. It's like that reliable friend who always shows up on time – nothing flashy, but always gets the job done. I popped this bad boy into my laptop, and it was smooth sailing from there. Installation was a breeze, even if you're not super tech-savvy. It's like changing batteries in a remote – if you can handle that, you can definitely handle installing this RAM. Once it was in, my laptop had a noticeable pep in its step. We're talking faster load times, smoother multitasking, and just an overall more responsive experience. It's like when you finally clean up your room, and everything just feels more organized and efficient. What really impressed me was the stability. I've had my share of cheaper upgrades that promised the moon but delivered a trip to the repair shop. Not this one. The PNY 8GB DDR3 is like that old, trusty pair of sneakers – not the flashiest, but you know they won't let you down. I've been using it for a while now, and not a single crash or hiccup. So, bottom line? If you're looking to give your laptop a little boost without breaking the bank or dealing with complicated tech stuff, this is your ticket. It's not going to turn your old clunker into a supercomputer, but it will breathe new life into it. And in today's world, where everything moves at lightning speed, that's all you can really ask for. Two thumbs up for the PNY 8GB DDR3 – a straightforward, reliable upgrade that does exactly what it needs to.

Bought it to upgrade my Dell i3 laptop which only had 4 GB of ram. It was easy to install and my laptop recognized it instantly. Now I can open multiple windows and there's no lag whatsoever with the laptop. It's been about three weeks since I installed it and there have been zero problems. The price at Best Buy is competitive and the local store pick up was a definite plus. I would definitely recommend this PNY product.

My 2nd time around with this product. Bought for my MacBook Pro and it was an instant performance upgrade. This one is for my daughter. With over 30 years of IT experience, I prefer a known manufacturer and PNY has been around and actually extensively tests its products. Apple compatible too! Easy to install.

These are able to increase the Ram memory in an IMac. I increased from 8 Gigs to 32 Gigs by purchasing 4 of these. This is the maximum on my 2015 iMac. They need to be installed in pairs on an iMac. It was easy to complete this process after watching a YouTube video.

I always like speeding up old technology and squeezing some extra life out of things, so when a friend brought me a laptop that was installed with a Win 7 install done via downgrade license, I took the opportunity to upgrade. Used this to upgrade from 4GB to 8GB of RAM, upgraded the HD to an SSD, switched the BIOS to UEFI mode, formatted the drive GPT and installed Windows 10. Installation went perfectly, and RAM usage won't be an issue. Most end users won't go over 8GB (I know some people will debate this, but for a basic user 8GB is more than enough RAM) which makes this a cost effective upgrade that can stretch the lifespan of an older system. If you've never installed laptop RAM before, all you have to do is access the slot, then line up the indentation on the connectors with the slot, push it in at about a 45 degree angle, then push it down flat so the metal clips hold it from the side. It's pretty self-explanatory and very easy to do.

My laptop computer became unacceptably sluggish over time. I discovered Windows 10 and all its updates and other start up programs occupied 3-1/2G of the 4G memory initially installed in the computer, leaving just 1/2G for all other functions. So I replaced the factory memory board with this 8G memory. The computer response sped up. If you have a slow computer, try this. It is easy to replace the memory board. Push apart the retaining arms in the old board and it snaps up. Remove and install the new board in the socket and push down. The retaining arms snap back into place. Although my computer had an empty memory socket, I prefer replacing the old memory rather than adding additional memory. That insures uniform speed. Make sure you select the right version of memory board for your computer, e.g, DDR3 or DDR4.

My older HP laptop was starting to feel very slow and tired. I decided to take a chance and bump the memory from 6 GB to 12GB by removing a 2GB and replacing it with this PNY 8GB SoDIMM. What a difference! A breath of new life for my laptop. My only regret is not running like 3DMark or some other benchmark tool before and after. Naturally the speed increase of the laptop comes from the doubling of memory which means Windows will not use the disk as often for memory swaps. I plan to leave my laptop at 12GB, simply because it's not worth the $$ given the age of my laptop. However, for newer laptops with Windows 10, you might consider maxing out the RAM at 16GB (at least a large number of laptop max out there.)

Bought this to upgrade a 3+ year old Lenovo X240 that came with only 4GB of RAM and a 7200 RPM Disk Drive. After installing the RAM, alongside a 500 GB SATA SSD the performance was boosted immensely and it became a great portable productivity device again. Nothing to envy on newer devices for the purpose this laptop serves. More RAM and a good SSD is the easiest, quickest, cheapest upgrade you can perform on any 2+ years old machine to bring it back to life. Always do a bit of research first on your Computer's specs to find out what type of RAM and Disk Drive it supports before buying/upgrading.

Sped up my system a little bit. Added 4 more gigs and I will say sometimes small things make a big difference. Easy install as long as you know what your doing. Works well with my 2015 asus
