RAM Upgrade in Hammersmith | PC Macgicians

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.

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.

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.

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.

In Hammersmith, with its Victorian terraces and local character, we commonly see: • Screen damage on laptops carried through Hammersmith Broadway and the Underground interchange — high foot traffic and crowded commutes are hard on devices in bags • MacBook keyboard failures from dust and debris accumulation — open-plan offices and co-working spaces around King Street generate more airborne particulate than home environments • Slow business laptops in Hammersmith offices that have never been serviced — SMEs and media companies operating on ageing hardware without an IT refresh cycle Local tip: Busy professionals: evening appointments available — drop your device after work and collect it next morning
