FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S340-15IIL RAM
Can I upgrade the RAM in my Lenovo S340-15IIL laptop?
Yes, but only partially. The laptop has 2 memory slots total, but only 1 slot is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed or replaced.
What's the maximum RAM I can have in this laptop?
The maximum total memory is 20GB. This typically means 4GB is soldered on the motherboard, and you can add up to 16GB in the upgradeable slot.
What type of RAM do I need for the S340-15IIL?
You need DDR4 SODIMM memory modules. Make sure to get laptop memory (SODIMM), not desktop memory (DIMM) - they're physically different sizes.
What speed RAM should I buy?
Get 2666MHz DDR4 memory (also labeled as PC4-21300). The laptop might work with faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2666MHz anyway, so there's no benefit to buying faster modules.
