Review: Used this to upgrade my older gaming laptop, performs really well! - I have used Silicon power in the past before and this ram works pretty well. Silicone power has been coming up as a pretty well trusted brand. I wanted to upgrade my older gaming laptop that is running 8 gb DDR3 (I know a bit older). I have been using this ram stick for several weeks now and there have been no issues. The specs for this ram is as followed 16 GB (2 x 8 gb) DDR3 1600 MHz. It works pretty well and it did increase my old gaming laptop performance. Now the only thing that is bottled necking it is my GPU. Speaking of gaming, this will work for that purpose and it does give your laptop a better performance. This is 2 ram sticks and not one (8 gb a stick). The ram pretty light to hold but make sure you discharge yourself by touching metal before handling any chips. If you are planning use this to upgrade basic laptop, this will work just fine although 8 gb is good enough for every day use. It is pretty easy to install but every laptop is different so do your research before purchasing ram. Also you need to unplug your computer before installing this ram (remove the battery if it one of those pull out batteries). I was able to remove the bottom panel of my laptop and just swap out the ram. It does not require any additional installation or setting changes (at least on my end) to make this work. The most important thing is to make sure you unplug your laptop from the power before you install this to avoid any problems. The ram is pretty simple looking and because it is laptop memory it does not have RGB. The performance is not bad and it is decent speed. It is an older memory so it is not as fast as DDR4 but that is okay. You can install this ram into some mini pc that run on laptop memory. This ram however does provide me with more than enough ram to surf the web and watch videos. I only use this for my gaming laptop and it also worked. There are no real heating issues with no heat sink. It performs pretty well. The packaging was actually pretty tough it actually took some effort to cut the ram out but I am glad it is well protected. The issues is that I had to cut and pull the ram out of the packaging. If you are going to cut it, just be careful not to hit the ram. Overall this is a very reasonably priced (for being an older ram) and inexpensive ram to have. It performance is strong and it really is an upgrade for my older lenovo gaming laptop.
Review: Huge boost for older laptops! - Wow, DDR3 RAM has gotten very affordable! I picked up this kit for around a buck per GB of RAM, which is unthinkable even just a couple years ago. I had a couple of laptops sitting around that used DDR3 RAM still, and so I got these kits for them, and they slotted right in, and have been working great. I haven't run into any memory errors after install (I pretty much always immediately run MemTest86+ after swapping out RAM, just to know what I'm getting into, especially before getting rid of the old RAM). So far, I haven't run into any trouble with these kits. 16GB of RAM is about as much RAM as laptops that run DDR3 RAM can handle, and in just about every case I've done it, Windows 10 runs really well after the upgrade (in one case, I went from 4GB to 16GB, so that was a huge boost when running more than a few apps at once). These also run at their rated 1600MT/s, which is about as fast as one can expect most DDR3 laptops to run. All in all, in my experience, these seem to be a good way to max out the RAM of your older laptops.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly in my old Thinkpad
*by A***W on December 14, 2025*

I got these to upgrade my old Thinkpad from college, I figured it couldn't hurt to increase the RAM since I still sometimes use it for drawing or graphic design work when I don't feel like sitting at my desk all day. I was surprised that it made such a big difference in performance, the laptop I have doesn't have many upgrade options besides this so I always thought it was a bit pointless but I'm still glad I got these
