Thinkpad x250 RAM 8GB or 16GB

Lenovo Tech Specs on the Thinkpad X250 Memory: Up to 8GB (1 DIMM), DDR3L-1600 PC3-12800 1600 MHz READ AGAIN: Max. 8GB of RAM Lenovo Customize Thinkpad X250 Product to buy: Memory: 16GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (1 SoDIMM) READ AGAIN: You can purchase it with 16GB of RAM Does it support 16GB of RAM or not?

Hi
1. The quote from the official x250 platform specification (PSREF):
Memory: 16GB max / PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3L, one 204-pin SO-DIMM socket
2. Have a look a big thread about 16 GB memory usage in the x250 here, on the forum board.
What's your answer for your own angry question here and in another threads?

Thinkpad X250 HDD/SSD & RAM user upgradable?

As the title says, I'm wondering if the Thinkpad X250 hard-drive and RAM can be upgraded by myself. I know some models have soldered RAM...
Would be nice if a Lenovo tech could confirm.
Solved!

Hello and welcome,
I'm not a Lenovo tech. I think you'll find what you need in the Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad X250 RAM is socketed. You'll also find instructions on how to remove and replace the drive.
The drive details are in the base specification: http://psref.lenovo.com/PSREFUploadFile%5CSys/PDF/ThinkPad/ThinkPad%20X250/ThinkPad_X250_Platform_Sp...
Additional per-model specs are in the PSREF page: http://psref.lenovo.com/Product/167

Thinkpad x250 Maximum RAM

Lenovo Website: Tech Specs on the Thinkpad X250 Memory: Up to 8GB (1 DIMM), DDR3L-1600 PC3-12800 1600 MHz READ AGAIN: Max. 8GB of RAM Lenovo Website: Customize Thinkpad X250 Product to buy: Memory: 16GB PC3-12800 DDR3L (1 SoDIMM) READ AGAIN: You can purchase it with 16GB of RAM Well does it support 16GB of RAM or not Lenovo???????

Welcome Jon!
The processor you describe could also be used on laptops with 4 memory slots. (8GB x 4 DIMM), therefore techinically the processor supports up to 32GB of RAM.
However, ThinkPad X230 motherboard only provides 2 memory slots, which is pretty normal for lightweight machines. Usually, only 15" high-powered machines such as W540 provides option for 4 memory slots. Therefore, you are limited to 16GB on X230.
Hope this answers your question.

I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)

8 gb will do I guess
Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP. Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Should I upgrade to 8GB or 16GB of memory (RAM)?

I've had my laptop since November of last year but lately it seems to be getting slow and constantly loading for no reason. I was thinking of upgrading the processor, but I read that I will void the warranty if I do that so my next step would be to upgrade the RAM. I currently have 6GB installed, however only 5.48GB is usable and almost 2GB is being used by my system with barely anything open. I've had this problem before and I reset my computer to factory default settings, but it seems to not have helped. So I was wondering if I should upgrade the memory to 8GB or 16GB? How much would it help to speed things up on my computer? I would really appreciate the help. Please let me know. Thank you. Here are my computer specs:
dv6z Quad Ed
• dark umber
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• AMD Quad-Core A8-3500M Accelerated Processor (2.4GHz/1.5GHz, 4MB L2 Cache)
• AMD Radeon(TM) Discrete-Class Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
• FREE Upgrade to 6GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 640GB 5400RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• No Additional Office Software
• No additional security software
• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (standard)
• 15.6" High Def LED HP Brightview (1366x768)
• FREE Upgrade to Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner
• HP TrueVision HD Webcam with Integrated Digital Microphone and HP SimplePass Fingerprint Reader
• 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R)
• Standard Keyboard
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope

Does sound like a less than optimized OS install & kind of typical of most factory OEM install machines.
I would download the generic Windows 7 install & give it a nice clean install & setup as will be far more rewarding than RAM upgrade.
I run a probook on 3GB for business/work related use & it is enough & the craze for 16GB of ram is simply a waste for 99% of people.
Do a ram test & hard drive test & ifgood think about a clean install.

8GB or 16GB Memory on Macbook Pro w/ Retina?

I'm about to retire my 17" Dell laptop from 2007 and upgrade to the new 15" Macbook Pro w/ Retina. Woo-hoo!
So here's the million dollar question...is it worth it to pay the 200 bucks to upgrade the memory from 8GB to 16GB? I've read that Apple now solders the memory into the computer, so once I pick my memory, I'm stuck.
It's been awhile since I've used a Mac on a day-to-day basis, so I'm fairly unfamiliar with how much memory newer systems eat up. On an average day, I expect that I won't be doing much more than my e-mail on Outlook, surfing the web in Firefox, and doing some work in Word/Excel. For that I figure 8 GB will be more than enough. However, on rare occassions, I might need to fire up Photoshop to do touchups on photos or maybe even a little bit of light editing in Final Cut.
So what do you think? Will 8GB do the trick, or should I suck it up and pay the extra 2 bills to bump it up to 16?

Pay the extra $$$ to get the max RAM your mb supports.
If you're keeping it for long term, then having the extra RAM would be beneficial to you since it's not user upgradeable.
You're coming from a Dell Laptop. Rule of thumb when using windows, the more RAM, the better your computer will run.
Since applications gets more robust when they release a newer version, they tend to be more RAM hungry.
I remember when photoshop was happy with 4GB of RAM. Now they're happier with 8GB of RAM.
It's better ot have it for " Just in case purposes ".
My .02 cents.

Can i upgrade 8gb too 16gb on 2012 i7 macbook pro with no problems ?

Can i upgrade my 8GB Ram too a 16GB in my mid 2012 Macbook Pro i7 without any problems ? The processor is 2.9ghz i7... any help please

Yep, and you'll notice a very pleasant increase in performance. Choose a reliable brand such as Corsair, Kingston, Crucial, OWC, etc., then visit their portal to use their configurator to determine the correct model for your Mac. Be sure it is Mac-certified for maximum reliability, as these computers are very finicky when it comes to memory.

8GB or 16GB in using with Parallels 10

Hi there,
I plan to buy my first Macbook (Macbook Pro Retina). Last years I only used Windows based PCs and notebooks. So I have an important question on using a virtual environment on the Macbook. Since I'm come from Windows 7, I have to build a "bridge" for some of my old applications, that I still want to use some time. Later - in a year or so - I plan to leave my virtual windows environment nearly completely.
What will I do with my MBP?
1st: 40% of my work is writing. I think, I will use Office 365 (I bought it some months ago).
2nd: 30% of my work is graphics based. I'm also a designer and photographer, so I work on Adobe CS5/CC.
3rd: 20% of my work - eventually (sometimes) - will be done in Unity3D (not 3D-Modelling!).
3rd: 10% of my work will be done in Excel, Powerpoint and Surfing.
At this time I own Adobe CS5 and have to use it on a virtual environment, such as Parallels Desktop 10. But this is only for a limited time period - a year or so. After then, I get Adobe CC, to install it natively on MAC OS X. Also I work in a program, called articy:draft - for game design. It is a windows program, so I have to use it on my virtual environment - all time!
In the beginning, I use the virtual environment for my "fall back - use" of the Creative Suite - only Photoshop and InDesign and definitly articy:draft. Later - after I purchased Adobe CC, I only use this virtual environment for my game design software articy:draft and some testing.
In the last days, I checked the memory needs in my windows systems. Since articy:draft uses not much memory, Adobes Software does. Sure, I can set a rule for the maximum memory usage - in photoshop, for example. But that does not help me to understand what this would mean on a Macbook (e.i. with Parallels). Can I work good enough with Photoshop and InDesign for the next few months? Can I work better, If I use Adobe CC natively? 8GB of system memory may be enough for me? Or is it a "must have" to get 16GB memory in my case? I ask this, because I have to pay attention to your money.
Could some of you, give me some advise? Did some of you have experience in using a virtual environment, such as Parallels Desktop, in things like the need for system memory?
Best regards,
Tom
P.S. I plan to purchase a Macbook Pro Retina i5 2,8GHz, 512GB SSD - with 8GB or 16GB system memory.

Hi,
...I am purchasing a new baseline MBP 15" and with the faster computer I am hoping to run parallels so I don't have to restart every time I want to switch OS. Would you recommend gettig 8GB of ram or 16GB of ram?
Thanks so much for your help!
The thing to keep in mind is that with Bootcamp, Windows got to use all the resources of your Mac; it didn't have to compete with the Mac OS for CPU cycles and RAM since Windows was all that was running. With Parallels (or other software that supports virtual machines, such as VMware Fusion), Windows is running inside of the Mac OS, which in your case would be Mavericks. Both operating systems are using resources such as RAM, as is the virtualizing software, and you have to make sure there's enough to go around.
So, the short answer is get as much RAM as you can, since, with the rMBP you can't add more later.

Upgrading latest iMac 27" 5K retina from 8Gb to 16Gb

Can anyone tell me the right memory modules to buy to uprgade the latest (mid 2015) iMac Retina 5K from 8Gb to 16Gb total memory ? I presume it currently has 2 x 4Gb modules. So presumably I need to replace them with 2 x 8Gb modules ? ....but I am not sure which type or model. Is there a memory module known to work flawlessly with it ?? ....and the approx.cost in the UK ?? Thanks

Hello Chris,
Thanks for contacting us . This system has four slots for RAM, so you can leave the existing and add the 16GB kit (2-8GB modules). This would be the best for the long term. The 16GB kit we are recommending can be found here:

Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9ghz intel core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the memory from 8GB to 16GB not realy noticing a difference

Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9GHZ Intel Core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the Ram from 8GB to 16GB and i'm really not noticing any difference actually it seems to be the same as it was before. Any help with this?

You will only notice a performance improvement if you haven't got enough RAM to use the applications you need. If you had a lot of free RAM before, you won't notice any difference now.
If you already have your computer, you can only replace the processor if you replace the logic board. Your computer requires a specific logic board, so you shouldn't replace it and you have to stay with the same processor. Apart from RAM, the only part you can upgrade is the hard drive. What will make an improvement is a SSD drive, if you haven't got one

Please stop asking about that on this forum.
There are plenty of informations on the Internet if you want to do it but nobody here will help, because is against the forum's rules.
And, you can't buy Mountain Lion if you do not have a Macintosh with at least Snow Leopard installed.
There is no physical media. Mountain Lion is provided by Apple through the Mac App Store.

Upgrading iPhone 3G 8GB to 16GB

What is the process of upgrading an iPhone 3G 8GB to 16GB?

If you go past the 14 day return period you will not be able to return it and pay the difference for the new phone, you would need to sell yours on eBay or Craig's list and then pay $499 or $699 for the 16GB, depending on AT&T and contract issues.
Why would you buy the 8GB if you knew you wanted the 16GB?
Either find some other way to get the money in the next 8 days or live with the phone you have.
And you port over your data when you set it up on your computer.

Satellite M110 PSMBOA - Does it read 8GB or 16GB SDHC cards

Does anyone know if this model with Windows XP home SP3 can read SDHC cards in particular 8GB or 16GB SD cards?
Or does anyone know if there is a driver update or firmwire update that will allow this card reader to read these types of cards
thanks

Hi
What does the user manual said?
Did you check this?
For me it looks like Toshiba Australian notebook series.
I searched in the manual which Ive found on the Toshiba Australian page and it says that these cards are supported:
*SD* 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB
*MMC* 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB
*MS* 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB
*MS Pro* 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB
*xD* 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB
As you see the SDHC cards are NOT supported.
