Was plug and play in my alienware m17, did not have to adjust timing or anything. Wouldn't normally buy something from bestbuy but the price was similar to what i was seeing online to very similar products without having to wait a few days for shipping.

The memory has a high clock speed of 2.666GHz which makes it faster and more efficient than the previous generations of memory, it also has a high capacity of 16GB which provides enough memory to run multiple programs and applications at the same time.
Installation is very easy and straightforward, and the memory is compatible with a wide range of laptops. The memory is also unbuffered, which means it does not have an additional buffer/register component between the DRAM modules and memory controller, which can improve the performance.
Overall, I highly recommend the PNY 16GB 2.666GHz PC4-21300 DDR4 SO-DIMM Unbuffered memory for anyone looking to upgrade their laptop's memory. It offers high speed, high capacity, easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of laptops. It's a great option for those who want to boost their laptop's performance and multitasking capabilities.

I bought this laptop memory for a "Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 series." The laptop only came with 8GM of RAM and I wanted to upgrade the memory to 32GB to max it out so I got 2 of them. The laptop recognized the RAM and it was pretty easy to install once you remove the bottom laptop frame. The laptop is definitely operating faster now.

I used two of these sticks in my 2018 Mac Mini. Install is a bit of a hassle, but that's not the fault of the RAM, of course. Once installed though, it was instantly recognized by both MacOS and my dual-boot into Windows 10. Both operating systems properly identify as 32 GB of RAM total (two 16 GB sticks for a total of 32 GB). The performance and configuration specs match what is used by Apple.
The price was better than may competitors, and it works flawlessly. I'd purchase these again.

I added this to my PC for added memory. Not really sure of the quality, it seems to be working okay. There are bigger brand names in the industry for a higher cost. Again, I do not know how to measure or compare quality but this product added speed to my PC and appears to be working well.

Was worried about this booting up with my Alienware, since dell insisted I order the 2400 memory. I went with Best Buy at less than half price. Not only did it boot, but it runs at full speed 2666. No problems what so ever. And boy did it make a difference. She was lagging on gaming, when I had 50 chrome windows open. But now, zero lag. And much cooler running. A+ Pick it up on sale!

I have purchased two of these for different machines. Both are Dells. One is a Dell Inspiron 5491 2n1 14" i7. The second is a Dell Inspiron 7375 2n1 13" Ryzen5. Both have worked flawlesly, with no issues. They were simple plug and play. If you have a Dell, buy with confidence.

PNY makes good stuff

I've bought a lot of PNY RAM over the years no issues. I just bought the GA401QM-211.ZG14 laptop off this site and this is what tech chat could get me that arrived the same day as the laptop, I guess RAM is something affected by all the Covid mess still going on out there. It works fine in the laptop but it will not run in dual channel mode on this computer because there is some hard wired RAM on the motherboard. Easy install open the back pop the clips, insert new chip engage clips push it down you're good to go.

Undocumented upgrade to my HP Envy notebook works!

Video processing and editing are memory hogs, sometimes locking the program up for minutes at a time. More RAM should fix it...
On the HP website, as well as PNY and other RAM manufacturers, it states that there is a 16GB "limit" or my 3 year old HP Envy notebook (Two 8's).
I gambled that this memory would work.. and won :) . Took an 8 out and replaced it with a 16, I now have 24GB
I took a chance that with the latest BIOS upgrade AND armed with knowing that the formatting for unbuffered DD4 SoDimm is consistent through the sizes -- that this upgrade would work.
Now the delays in rendering are cut substantially.
One caveat: Make sure that the speed of the memory module is faster than the one it replaced.
