Q: QuestionHow many sticks of memory?This laptop has 4GB of memory installed, I want to upgrade the memory. How many sticks is it? What is the amount per stick?
Asked by Yvonne.
- A:Answer It has one empty memory slot. I added one Kingston PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3L 4 GB Non-ECC CL11 memory chip Model No. KVR16LS11/4 (Google it). It was recognized immediately. According to the User Guide on Lenovo's site you are suppose to use PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3L. I see some people added the PNY chip but I can't tell if it's DDR3L (i.e. low voltage 1.35V) or if it would have any adverse effects.

Q: QuestionNo support from Lenovo?A Lenovo chat support agent and I tried to find any documentation for any G500 laptop. All we found was support for the G500s - Certainly nothing on model # 59399508. There is a $600 4th generation I7 processor (retail) in this $600 (Black Friday price) computer and I'd like to buy one, but not if information on specifications, parts & driver availability is lacking. Question 1: Does anyone here know how retailers rationalize selling this cpu for $600 when faster 3rd generation cpu's are retailing for under $300? Perhaps the current generation of the I7's run cooler? Prices and benchmark info is available at Passmark. The columns can be sorted to show the fastest tested, along with their prices. Question 2: If you bought this computer and can shed some light on the apparent support void, a quick answer or a review would be appreciated.
