Endevor Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 So I'm looking into upgrading my laptop memory. I found these:http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/lenovo-y50-70-touch/CT5959245 - Crucial says this is compatible http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/bls2k8g3n18aes4 - Crucial says the 16g kit is not, but any other size is.I chatted with one of their technicians and they said they couldn't find a reason except the ballistix may not have tested well. They both look similar, but the Ballistix has a lower CL and is cheaper. So the question is, is there a reason I shouldn't get the Ballistix series?Thanks for any insight.

SpikeSoprano Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Lenovo laptops are very picky about what upgrade parts will work in them, you better triple check that any memory you buy will work with it , I speak from past experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endevor Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Well, the last option is a GSkill : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231709&cm_re=F3-1866C10D-16GRSL-_-20-231-709-_-ProductBut I can't tell if it would be compatible. They don't have a test on their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) As much as I'd hate to not give the best value the business, if crucial guarantees it will work I'd go with their sticks. Lenovo as a company are a bunch of a-holes as it is so I wouldn't be surprised if their memory was as locked down as their inability to change your wifi card.
