Go to crucial.com upu can search by your computers model number
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not a good thought to do so. This is a I3 machine and is not very compatabile with high end RAM's. You might not experience much difference in performance even after the upgrade. For better performance please switch on to I5 or even I7 machines. I5 machine always comes with 8 GB RAM's and are much better in performance.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you have a g50-80, you can go here to get an extra 8gb. Verify you have an extra memory slot available first. There are other places besides crucial where you can find the memory. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Lenovo/lenovo-g50-80
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Don't upgrade the RAM for performance. You won't use 12GB of ram. If you are looking for faster boot times, and programs to open on demand...then upgrade your hard drive to a solid state. You can get a 500gb samsung 850EVO for under $200 now a days.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.(Please read this entire message because your answer may be anywhere between here and the very last sentence). Normally the RAM on laptops are not upgradeable. If it is, you need to check the products service manual or advanced user's manual, if an advanced version is available or look at the complete specifications where this detail can also be found. You can call their tech support before making a purchadse to verify whether it is upgraderable, because normally this is not something you could do yourself, unlike with most PC's. Plus the cost to send it back, and the cost of parts and service may be prohibitive. So if you need a laptop with lots of memory you will probably prefer to find a model that has the needed amount on it when purchased and if so, you won't start looking at entry level models, quite the opposite. Also, just as a general comment make sure that the use of the word "memory" isn't being confusing. The word "memory" can be used rather indiscriminently to refer to system RAM, system video VRAM, CD ROM, hard disk (HD or HDD) space usually expressed in MB, GB or T , as well as SD card space. Usually 4GB of RAM (which is on board system memory) on a 64 bit system is plenty of RAM and simply using as few unnecessary applications as once can help any real memory hogs perform, but programs are made to place nice with a reasonable number of other programs being run concurrently, so ways of minimizing needed system memory may be helpful to you. If what you are actually thinking about is hard drive or disk memory, then the 1 TB of space on this model should be ~ample~ for doing many things for years, plus you can burn CD's with this model and archive files to removeable SD cards, so you could potentially do very well with this model, as long as actual system memory is not what your programs are requiring, since most programs absolutely do not need 12 GB to run! I would also double check that, and make sure it isn't saying 12 MB! That would actually make a lot more sense if it did! I hope this helps! :)
