FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad ideapad S145-15AST RAM

How many RAM slots does my S145-15AST have?

Just one slot total. No dual channel option here.

What's the maximum RAM I can install?

8GB is the ceiling. Won't recognize anything larger even if you try.

What type of RAM do I need to buy?

DDR4 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones.

What speed RAM should I get?

2133MHz is what works best. Higher speeds will just downclock to 2133 anyway.

Can I add a second RAM stick for dual channel?

Nope, single slot only. Whatever's in there has to come out if you're upgrading.

Is the RAM soldered or removable?

It's removable - uses a standard SODIMM slot you can access.

Will faster RAM like 2400MHz or 2666MHz work?

It'll work but run at 2133MHz. Save money and just get 2133MHz.

What happens to my old RAM when upgrading?

You'll need to remove it completely since there's only one slot. Maybe keep it as a backup or sell it.
