Laptop RAM upgrades in Johannesburg.
Memory pressure and heavy multitasking may justify a RAM assessment. Check the exact model, existing configuration and upgrade limits before buying modules.
- Quote before repair
- Kibler Park workshop
- Paid pickup by arrangement
Not every laptop has replaceable memory
Some laptops have soldered memory, some have sockets and some combine both. The exact model and configuration determine whether an upgrade is possible. An advertised maximum for the product family may not describe your machine. Send the model before buying a module or approving the work.
RAM and an SSD solve different constraints
RAM supports the programs and data in active use; storage holds the system and files. Slow performance can also involve a failing drive, heat, software or a workload beyond the processor. Describe the applications, open tabs and situations where the problem appears. An upgrade should address the measured constraint rather than promise to cure every slow laptop.
Match the module to the supported system
Memory generation, form factor, capacity and supported configuration need checking. Modules that look similar may not be compatible. We review the existing configuration and the realistic upgrade route before recommending parts. Do not force a module into a slot or order purely by a headline speed.
Agree the checks after fitting
Ask whether the proposed work includes recognition of the installed memory, stability checks and the workload concern you reported. A machine that starts once is not the same as a stable, useful upgrade. If another fault remains, it should be explained separately so you can judge the value of the work.
Prepare your upgrade enquiry
Send the full laptop model, operating system if known, current capacity and what you want to improve. Mention work or school management, encryption and your backup status. We discuss compatible parts, installation and any additional setup before approval.
Paid pickup can be discussed after your area and available collection window are confirmed. The workshop is at 32 Murray Rd, Kibler Park. No capacity, stock, performance result or turnaround is guaranteed before the machine and proposed work are reviewed.
A clear quote before work begins
