T580 RAM Upgrade (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by SpiceDealer@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/thinkpad@lemmy.ml
 

I recently bought a T580 and it's a great laptop but it could use some upgrades. I'm trying to upgrade to 32gb RAM which might be overkill but I plan on using this for a long time. What's the best place to buy aftermarket RAM? I was looking at these from Crucial but there end-of-life. Should that be a concern? Thanks in advance.

ain't you got a used marketplace where you're at? why get them new, that's 10 year old tech at this point and Intel isn't picky about RAM speeds, so you can get the cheapest stuff that e.g. AMD laptops won't run (2400, 2666, etc).
