Kingston ValueRAM
Delivering reliable DDR4 2400 MT/s performance with a standard CL17 latency and 1.20V power draw, this 4GB unbuffered SO-DIMM module is a straightforward upgrade for older systems. Its single-rank, 260-pin design ensures broad compatibility with budget laptops needing a basic memory refresh. This module is best for users reviving aging notebooks for light web browsing and document editing, not for multitasking or modern workloads.
