good price. i paid a tenner more last week.

Great price

I'm trying to tell myslef... "don't need, don't need, don't need, don't buy...." Heat added - great price

Good find OP - it has gone up in price by a pound but still a hell of a good price to purchase at, especially if your needing a cheap RAM upgrade for your laptop or a compatible nettop/desktop system.

EDIT - Just realised I'm looking at a different Crucial RAM Upgrade kit on Amazon - to hungover to notice!!! :laughing:

Will this be fast enough to be used with CAD programs with quad core i7 laptop?
I understand there isn't much real time difference between more expensive RAM modules.
I will be using Solidworks, Inventor etc

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if this will work in a dell 15r 7520 laptop. Thanks

Works perfectly with a late 2012 macbook pro. Perfect way to give it a new lease of life along with an SSD. I paid £50 for this so heat added

Does anyone know if this works for other laptops like Lenovo or Dell? Thanks.

Thanks OP. Not often you get deals like this on Mac RAM.

bought for my QNAP. Thanks

Bought for my Synology, thanks. :smiley:

Bargain. paid £50 for this around a month ago.

Nice spot. Ive been looking at these for a few months. This is £10 less than usual lowest price.

Is thus only for Macs?

I am looking at this deal for the x230 that I bought through the other deal. Seems like it is possible as per the specs on the crucial website. http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/thinkpad-x230-tablet/CT3291736#productDetails

Please correct me if I'm wrong!

16gb DDR4 kit here too for a pound more :man:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-PC4-17000-SODIMM-260-Pin-Memory/dp/B015HQ9VEM/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1465919061&sr=1-6&keywords=crucial+ddr4+so-dimm

they are! thought the link might be useful though to people who've got laptops like mine which only support the 260 (=

Yes it is for normal laptops too, nowhere does it say mac ONLY
but please be aware
Manufacturers including some HP/Asus/Lenova etc have whitelists in bios (or Apple OS/drivers/etc) which limit some components that can be used in the system
In terms of bios whitelists this is blatantly a manufacturer gimmick and is EXTRA WORK done by the manufacturer to limit what components can be replaced and the bios will have a list of several items that it MUST be replaced with otherwise it will not function (or inhibit other functions ie USB slots). This serves in rendering the laptop obsolete before it's capability and time. This should be illegal in my opinion (OR made very very clear on purchase what exactly is crippled) as it is the OS drivers that if available will make this function in many cases for wifi modules/wwan etc in the pcie slot. RAM options though are not usually crippled but some occasionaly do.

Edit: No point getting too technical, some points could be explained better but you get the point.

if i tried these in my laptop and they don't work (e.g. compatibility issue) would amazon give refund?

The chances are it will work, a little research will show if your make/model of laptop has any whitelists in bios....worst case scenario they'll sell at a slightly higher price on ebay i'm sure.

CT8G3S160BM 8GB DDR3 1600 MT/s CL11 SODIMM 204-pin 1.35V/1.5V

Excellent price.....thanks for posting OP

Just purchased for my Mac mini.. HoT hOt hot

Dont need it, dont need it, dont need it
Purchased

Thanks Op. if I die a poor man, I will haunt you.

I went to the Crucial website and this memory did not show as compatible with my HP Laptop.
This memory according to Crucial says for Macs, so buy with caution.

Likewise. Yes it's good. Tempted to get it and the laptop now... Cheaper than getting them to do it!

Can anyone confirm the would be suitable for my HP Pro book 450 G2, the laptop is rather fussy about the type used.
Details from Mr Memory Scan
Speed: 1600MHz (PC3-12800)
Technology: DDR3 SDRAM

How is the x230 from them. Any good?

Great deal

Getting the laptop today and the RAM from Amazon on Thursday. I can come back and comment after weekend. Prompt me :wink:. Hands are itching to buy a SSD but going to wait and look for a good deal.

Someone above has said purchased for a Mac mini - can anyone confirm it is compatible with a 2014 sever version of the mac mini?

As requested SSD deal.

OK thanks. I tried to go to their shop but it doesn't exist anymore and they don't let customers into their warehouse :/

These should be fine for any laptop which requires DDR3 1.5v or 1.35v.
The reason it's listed as Mac compatible seems to be that Apple do actually make a fuss. Seems they program their machines to reject most memory at the firmware level. Maybe because Apple love proprietary so much, or it is some requirement of the way the run the chipset or something.
Never heard of any other company whitelisting memory although I know that a HP EliteBook 840 G1 will not boot with 1.5V memory, but I wouldn't consider that whitelisting.

Got these today.

Tested them in a Lenovo Thinkpad (hardware test) and they work without any problem.

That's an appalling suggestion - theft and fraud are not things that should be advocated on HUKD.

If it doesn't fit or work simply return it to Amazon as "not useful for intended purpose" - they'll refund you.

​as per the eBay listing you could visit their store at Portsmouth. I got the laptop yesterday and tested it out. overall satisfied with their response. the quality is grade 2 - a bit worn out due to heavy usage for a couple of years at least. the touchpad and battery was rattling a bit. they have agreed to do a swap now. but I think well worth it for the price.

​expired...great :confused:

Thanks OP. Upgraded my mid-2012 13" MacBook Pro to 16GB with no issues. Did a hardware test on my Mac after upgrading and it didn't show any issues.

I had been looking at a slightly different 16GB set on Amazon for a while, but this saved me about £15, thanks.

Along with the SSD upgrade I did a while ago, my Mac is running nice and smoothly.

Now twice the price ! :disappointed:
