RAM upgrade in Kensington

Premium laptops used by professionals in Kensington W8 are often capable machines that have simply hit their memory ceiling. More applications, heavier browser use, and larger document workflows than when purchased can turn a high-spec device into a sluggish one. Where a machine’s RAM is upgradeable, fitting additional memory is a direct and lasting fix. We confirm compatibility with your exact model, source the correct specification, install it at our Putney workshop, and test under load before returning the device. Parking around Kensington High Street is restricted. Free collection from W8 is available and usually the most practical arrangement. Most upgrades complete the same day. For full details, see our RAM upgrade page. For local coverage, see our Kensington area page. To book, contact us or call 020 7610 0500.

Frequently Asked Questions About RAM Upgrade in Kensington

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.
