    This is a budget 8GB laptop ram. PNY is a solid brand, obviously performance wise it is not gonna compare to all the high-end RAM brands. But for the price, it is hard to beat.

    Love the extra memory---hate the ASUS company! So glad the Geek Squad young woman was able to do it. When I bought the laptop last year I was told they couldn't install the extra memory.

    Went to use this in my laptop but due to poor package labeling, it would not boot. My laptop requires low voltage memory, 1.35v and this is 1.5v. this Info is not on the package or Best Buy website. Had to return for refund.

    I bought this to max out my memory on my laptop and it works great! Had no issues what so ever with it! As soon as I installed it and fired the laptop back up it was already acknowledged by the laptop and ready for lots of work.

    my Acer c710 notebook is fab all over except for the 2gb factory RAM chip. Once you open your third or fourth tab Chrome will gasp & die. Thankfully the Celeron board it shipped allows you to install up to 16gb of DDR3 RAM so i went with another barebones option and installed one 8gb stick next to the original 2gb stick. BOOM !! now i can open as many tabs as i like & have no more issues with slowing or running outta breath
