How a RAM upgrade transforms your machine

Smoother multitasking

Memory is where your machine holds everything it is actively working on. When it runs out, the system slows to a crawl. A RAM upgrade gives you the headroom to keep many tabs, apps and documents open at once without the dreaded freeze.

Faster everyday performance

More memory means less time waiting on the hard drive. Programs open quicker and switching between them feels instant. For many customers a RAM upgrade is the single most cost-effective speed boost available.

Longer life from your current device

Rather than spending hundreds on a new laptop, a memory upgrade can extend the useful life of your existing machine by years. We advise honestly on whether your device is worth upgrading before you spend a penny.
