Overview
Upgrading a laptop's multitasking headroom is the point of this single 16GB DDR4 module from Crucial, which runs at 3200MHz and drops to 2933 or 2666MHz on slower controllers. It's a 260-pin SODIMM, the laptop form factor, not a desktop stick.
This is a single-module upgrade, not a kit, so anyone wanting dual-channel speed needs to check whether the laptop already has a second stick installed or buy two. Crucial lists compatibility guidance through its own System Scanner and Upgrade Selector tools rather than a fixed list of laptop models, which is a more reliable way to confirm fit than reading the title alone. The listing's reference to 13th Gen Intel Core and Ryzen 7000 support is about protocol compatibility, not a guarantee that any specific laptop has an accessible SODIMM slot.
- 16gb ddr4 sodimm, 260-pin, laptop form factor
- 3200mhz with cl22 latency, pc4-25600
- Non-ecc, 1.2v, 1rx8 or 2rx8 configuration
- Compatibility check via crucial system scanner
Who it's for
A laptop with a free or swappable SODIMM slot and a need for more multitasking headroom is the right fit here, not a desktop build, since this is the laptop form factor rather than a desktop DIMM. Someone whose laptop has soldered, non-upgradable memory gets no benefit from this module.
Pros and cons
- Runs at 3200mhz with fallback to 2933 or 2666mhz
- Crucial's scanner and selector tools confirm exact fit before buying
- Backed by micron manufacturing
- Sold as a single module, not a matched dual-channel pair
- No benefit on a laptop with soldered, non-upgradable memory
Performance notes
The module runs at 3200MHz with CL22 latency (PC4-25600) at 1.2V, and can also run at 2933MHz or 2666MHz depending on what the laptop's memory controller supports. It ships as a 260-pin SODIMM in either 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 configuration and is non-ECC, matching standard consumer laptop boards rather than workstation ECC memory.

How do I know if this RAM fits my laptop?
Crucial recommends running its System Scanner or Upgrade Selector tool to confirm the laptop supports a 260-pin DDR4 SODIMM before buying.
