FAQ about Lenovo Legion Y730 (15-inch) RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Legion Y730 15-inch?
You can go up to 32GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so that's 16GB per slot maximum.
What type of RAM does the Y730 use?
It uses DDR4 SODIMM modules - those are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get SODIMM, not regular DIMM.
What speed RAM should I get for the Y730?
The recommended speed is 2400MHz (also labeled as PC4-19200). The system might accept faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2400MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the Y730?
Yeah, you can mix sizes like 8GB + 16GB if you want 24GB total. But for best performance, matching pairs (like 16GB + 16GB) work better since they can run in dual-channel mode.
Do I need to remove the existing RAM when upgrading?
Depends on what's already in there. If you've got 2x4GB and want 16GB total, you'll need to remove at least one stick. If there's only one stick installed, you can just add another one to the empty slot.
