FAQ about Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15-inch Intel RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo Edge 15?

Maximum is 4GB total. It's got 2 slots, so you could do 2x2GB sticks or maybe 4GB in one slot if it came with less originally.

What type of memory does the Lenovo Edge 15 use?

DDR3 SODIMM - that's the laptop-sized memory sticks, not the bigger desktop ones. Make sure you get DDR3, not DDR4 or anything else.

What speed RAM should I get for the Edge 15?

1066MHz (also called PC3-8500). The laptop might work with faster RAM like 1333MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.

Can I mix different RAM sizes in my Edge 15?

Technically yes, like 1GB + 2GB, but it's better to match them. Same size, same speed works best - so 2x2GB if you're maxing it out.

Do I need to remove existing RAM when upgrading?

Depends what's already in there. If both slots are full with smaller sticks, yeah you'll need to take at least one out. Check what you've got first before buying new ones.
