I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I’m lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where’s the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.

Put your model number into the top search field to bring up the spec sheet for the model in question.
It will tell you the ram that’s already installed to mirror it. Chances are you’ll be looking at either 8gb or 16gb, sodimm ddr4 @ 3200mhz. Brand doesn’t really matter too much but it must be sodimm not dimm, and make sure you don’t get lower MHz then what’s already installed as it will make all stocks default to the lowest MHz speed
Thanks so much, this is super helpful
No problems. As for sites to order, I’m not sure of American suppliers/computer stores, but when I do need to order parts for us clients of mine I typically use www.cdw.com however you might have a local store that could be faster and close to the same cost.
Not sure if you need login information to order one off parts or not though.
Awesome, thanks a ton!
