RAM upgrade in Brixton

If a laptop feels sluggish when switching between applications or slows down noticeably with several tabs open, adding more RAM can solve the problem without the cost of a new machine. We carry out RAM upgrades for Brixton SW2 residents and local businesses, fitting compatible memory and testing performance before returning the device. We confirm compatibility before ordering anything — not every machine supports upgrades, and we’d rather tell you upfront than take your device in unnecessarily. For those that do support it, a RAM upgrade is a cost-effective improvement that extends the useful life of the hardware. Free collection from the Brixton and SW2/SW9 area is available. Most upgrades complete within the day. For full details, see our RAM upgrade page. For local coverage, see our Brixton area page. To book, contact us or call 020 7610 0500.

Frequently Asked Questions About RAM Upgrade in Brixton

How much RAM do I need?

8GB is minimum for basic use. 16GB is ideal for most users and future-proofs your system. 32GB+ is for power users doing video editing, 3D rendering, or running virtual machines.

Can all computers be upgraded?

Most can, but some laptops have soldered RAM that can't be changed. All MacBooks from 2012 onwards have non-upgradeable RAM. We'll check your specific model before proceeding.

Will more RAM make my computer faster?

If you're running out of memory (check Task Manager), yes - significantly. If you have plenty of free RAM already, an SSD upgrade would make more difference. We'll advise what's best for your situation.

What's the difference between DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5?

These are different generations of RAM - they're not interchangeable. Your computer only accepts one type. DDR5 is newest and fastest, DDR4 is most common currently, DDR3 is found in older systems.
