Crucial 16GB Kit (2×8GB) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM

Double or quadruple the memory of your 2011–2015 laptop so it stops choking with lots of tabs open.

What is it for?

RAM is your computer's workspace: the more it has, the more it can do at once without slowing down. If your laptop freezes when you open several Chrome tabs, Zoom and Word at the same time, it's almost always a lack of RAM.

This kit includes two 8GB modules that replace the ones your laptop shipped with (usually 4GB or 8GB total). It's the cheapest, highest-impact upgrade for 2011–2015 laptops, and it carries a lifetime warranty. It may ship as CT2K8G3S160BM or CT2KIT102464BF160B — same product.

Is it compatible with my device?

It fits laptops and Macs that use DDR3 or DDR3L memory. The fastest way to find out:

Use the compatibility checker
1Find your model. It's on the label under the laptop, or in the Apple menu → "About This Mac".
2Confirm the memory type. On Windows: Ctrl+Shift+Esc → Performance → Memory. It should say DDR3. On Mac: "About This Mac" → Memory.
3Not sure? We'll check it for free. Send us the model and a technician confirms it before you buy.

PROSS technician's note

PROSS TechnicianField installs across SWFL

This is the upgrade we install most on older laptops. With 16GB and an SSD, a 2013 laptop feels new again. But first confirm your device uses DDR3 — if it's from 2016 or newer it probably uses DDR4 and this kit will not fit.

Pros

  • Trusted brand, lifetime warranty
  • Immediate, noticeable improvement
  • 1.35V: works in DDR3 and DDR3L machines

Cons

  • Only for DDR3 machines (≈2011–2015)
  • Some laptops have soldered RAM that can't be replaced
  • If the slowness comes from the hard drive, pair it with an SSD
