The Kingston Technology DDR5 8 GB 5600 MHz SO‑DIMM is a laptop memory module engineered to increase system responsiveness and support modern multitasking workloads. This compact 262‑pin module uses DDR5 architecture to deliver higher data rates compared with previous generations, operating at a memory clock speed of 5600 MHz with a CAS latency of 46 and a low operating voltage of 1.1 V. It is intended for compatible laptops and small form factor systems that accept DDR5 SO‑DIMM modules and provides a straightforward way to expand available RAM capacity for improved application performance and smoother workflow.

Advantages

The module provides a balance of speed and energy efficiency, with 5600 MHz data transfer and reduced voltage to lower power consumption in portable systems. Its DDR5 design improves memory bandwidth and overall system throughput, while the SO‑DIMM form factor ensures compatibility with laptop memory slots that support 262‑pin DDR5 modules. Kingston's manufacturing and testing processes offer stability and reliability suitable for everyday computing tasks, from web browsing to office applications.

Suitable for

• Laptops with DDR5 SO‑DIMM slots
• Upgrading system memory to improve multitasking
• Light content creation and office applications
• Everyday computing and web browsing

Key specifications

• Capacity: 8 GB

How to use

Power off the laptop and disconnect it from any power sources. Access the memory compartment according to the laptop manufacturer's instructions, taking anti‑static precautions. Align the module with the slot using the notch to ensure correct orientation, press gently until the retaining clips engage, and replace the cover. After reassembly, power on the system and verify that the operating system recognizes the new memory capacity in system settings or BIOS/UEFI.

Recommendations

Install modules in matched pairs where supported by the laptop to take advantage of dual‑channel or multi‑channel configurations. Check the device's documentation or BIOS/UEFI for maximum supported memory and supported DDR5 speeds before purchase. Handle the module by its edges and avoid contact with the gold contacts to prevent damage.
