2x4GB DDR3L 1600MHZ SODIMM RAM PC3L 12800S 2Rx8 PC3 1600 DDR3 12800 204-pin 1.35V Dual Rank Laptop Memory 8GB KIT
Limited Entry-Level Capacity
Validated by C.R. Vinoth Kumar ยท Founder & Senior Editor
8GB of total memory is extremely marginal in 2026. Windows 11 uses 3-4GB at idle, leaving very little headroom for multitasking or gaming. We highly recommend upgrading to at least 16GB, or 32GB to prevent page-file stutters.
