Now more and more company coming with 32GB RAM modules for laptop. However so far cannot find for desktop. Most the desktop 32GB RAM is server RAM, not sure if can use for normal consumer PC.

You mine sharing the specs? Want to see what you can get for the price and would be good for future buyers so they have a benchmark for their purchase.

Ideapad L340 got two versions, the normal ideapad and the L340 Gaming. Which is yours?

This is from the PSREF for ideapad L340-15API (but better you double check yourself).



Means the M.2 slot in your laptop doesn't support SATA type M.2 SSD's which is your Goldenfir SSD.

For example, if your M.2 supports SATA, it will be like the PSREF of the T495 below:

Cincai lar if you want SATA, you need buy those 2.5 inch type of SSD drives.

You can probably put a second 2.5 inch SSD where the DVD-ROM like what msacras said, but if you want to make you life easy, just get a M.2 nvme ssd like this one:

Cincai lar normally if got dvd-rom, should be okay to use that part for ssd, but just you need buy a ssd bracket/bay for that slot, also might need to get extra cable to connect the two, so its more work.

with m.2 nvme ssd, the slot is there already and all you need to do is slot the nvme ssd into it.

People here like the Samsung RAM (for me though I feel this RAM is hotter than usual, also does not come in proper sealed packaging cause they probably buy in bulk straight from factory and resell it):

Also got Hynix, Adata, Crucial, Micron, Kingston, all should be good.

If you can find your current soldered RAM model and get the same model as the onboard RAM is the best way. You can find the manufacturer and part number using the command prompt:

32GB ddr4 Micron from taobao, MYR 501.59 only:

Smooth for me too, just the heat bugs me, anyways got myself stock hynix ram for the Thinkbook 13s, going see if that is cooler or also hot.

Waste or not waste depends on the user. Got other sizes also:

I use on the lap a lot, so definitely can notice, even used the remaxel ram from thinkbook 13s on the t495 (no heat that time).

Once try the Samsung ram, you feel noticeable heat. Its at the bottom of the laptop, in the middle.Keyboard surface no heat though, just the bottom of the laptop where the RAM is located.

So far RAM i see them use Remaxel, Samsung, Hynix.

For SSD i've seen them use Micron, Samsung and WD.

Two words: Ugreen, Baseus

just search "baseus hub" or "ugreen hub", should come out a lot.
Btw, these brands are known to give massive discount during certain periods like 10.10, 11.11 etc so maybe christmas will too.

I had issues with the ethernet port (RJ45 connector) on my T495. Sometimes connect and sometimes does not detect. I have feeling it is because the fan is next to it so when laptop gets hot, the Ethernet port maybe just stops working. And whenever the Ethernet port stops functioning, I'll have to uninstall the network drivers and restart the laptop (so it re-installs the drivers). So far just happened once, and I am hoping this is a one off incident.

Also, I notice for some reason the ethernet port installs two drivers for the ethernet port, even after uninstalling one, it will still reinstall back two drivers. Could be a software issue instead of hardware.

This christmas really quiet, even the build up to christmas like no exciting offers. All business probably calling it the end of the year already. or maybe just waiting for CNY for their goodies and banking on those festivities instead of Christmas.

cable is not the issue, i have a "usb-c to ethernet port" adapter and it works on the same laptop. its the ethernet port, i believe its mostly software related. also found this that might be of help to you if you encounter it again:
