Adding memory to laptop

[milly143]

Can anyone tell me if it is easy to add memory to a laptop. Someone mentioned to me a plug in type of memory but I really don't want something that will protrude. Are there any alternatives that could be added to the motherboard or something perhaps?

In the laptops I have had, adding laptop memory has usually been a case of opening a small cover on the bottom of the laptop and pushing in the memory.

It is very easy, but may not be the case with all laptops.

Have a look at the documentatoin that came with the laptop to see if they explain.

Here is page which shows how it can be done (but may not apply to all laptops)

Cool. Thanks very much! Looks like that might work for me. :o)

I strongly recommend Crucial - it scans your computer and tells you the best memory for your computer. It guarantees compatibility.

You can buy the memory off them, or use the info to buy elsewhere. I bought off them, it arrived next day and was very easy.

Laptop memory is usually more expensive than desktop, though.

If you already have your new memory purchased and just waiting to install then a good illustrated installation guide generic for most laptops can be found via the link below:
