Before I buy a laptop, I check every spec, that way you can't blame Linux if your computer doesn't function the way you expect it to

I will make sure it works on LL. Before buying i will post the specs and ask for expert advice here.

Picked up a Lenovo B50-30 with 2GB memory today for 100 euro. Installed my samsung evo 850 SSD and installed LL3.0 on it. Running fine. Only need to get myself bit more memory for the laptop.

Did that yday but i cant find it in the database. Did upload it again just a few seconds ago.
Now only need to find out what kind of memory the laptop needs.
Re: new laptop - TMG1961 - 07-11-2016
How can i find out if the memory i need is ddr3 or ddr3l? Also a bit confused about the speed, some sites say 1333mhz and others say 1600mhz.
Re: new laptop - Wirezfree - 07-11-2016
Hi,
It takes DDR3-L, 8GB Max of Low power 1.35V vs standard 1.5V
A quick Google finds this... It is picky over Memory
this appears to work if you read this
If you have 2GB, then get another 2GB for 4GB,
or
replace the existing 2GB with 2 X 4GB for 8GB

Did read that topic. But as i dont have the touch model i am not sure it will take the same memory. Did do some searches but i only got more confused. So i opened a topic on the lenovo forum to see what they have to say about it.
Thanks for your time to hand a helping hand
Re: new laptop - Wirezfree - 07-11-2016
It should still be the same memory...
Crucial Memory or Kingston Memory
Probably find it on Amazon.??

Hello!
Glad you found you something that left you some euros for something else!
Yup, Amazon or Ebay should have some RAM at a good price. Enjoy...
