Q&A: When buying a bigger ram chip for a laptop, why are all the prices so different?

im buying more ram for my laptop, and i dont know why the chips from the same company range from $ 30 to $ 80 for a 1GB ram chip. I just want to know if there is some differnce between some chips.

nope but i find samsung to be the best price and best quality
go on ebay express not just ebay–express is stores all brand new you can get memory verry cheap brand new with full waranty and guaranteed compatability

The RAM price are pretty much market driven. If the manufactures products are over the market required, the price dropped and dropped very hard. And if the required RAM chips are not enough in the market, the price raised. Many of the older RAM chips set for some older laptop models are pretty expensive now. Get the speed and RAM can fit into your laptop, select the chips with the price you are happy with. By the way, the RAM chips are life time warranty, so you can replace with different set if you are not happy with the performance.

Most differences would be clock speed..Speed is money.
Main thing you want is:
that they match in pairs in all specs~
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Depending on ur motherboard, you might want to be prepared to upgrade your BIOS as well when changing ur RAM.
Good Luck~!

There could be some differences in prices due to a particular store etc. but sometimes price differences are more than 33% when there is no apparent differences between two machines. Is there something under the skin which I am missing ? Which may be a good laptop for a student starting his college this fall ? Suggest any good machine.

If you are not missing anything in your comparison then I would say it’s the quality of the parts.

You can’t go wrong with a Dell core duo.

Probably the same reason that a Buffalo Jeans are way more than the 727 brand. The name is one thing, the memory and software are another issue. Some come with lightscribe some without. It’s a combination of every ting. The store you buy it at also plays a huge role in the price.

You have to look closer, and know about brands of internal parts. There are differences between Intel, AMD, and other prands of processors. Sometimes a big company like Dell just gets a better price when buying these parts, so the overall price goes down. There are also premiums on Core 2 Duo and Core Duo chips. Its easy to overlook that “2″, but it makes the computer 10% faster.

Unless you are going in to visual media or are a serious gamer, most of this stuff isn’t worth learning about. Just get something that feels right for a decent price.

you can go with the cheapest laptop
don’t get dell. cost to much to repair after 2 years.
and by the way lots can go rong with dell

I’d highly recommend going to http://www.notebookreview.com/

They have forums and lots of reviews of laptops.

There are so many features that a laptop can have, and at a glance it may seem like two are similar, but if you look at the details, you’ll generally find many differences.

Note that some brands, particularly the IBM Thinkpads and Sony laptops, carry a premium just due to their name.

Off the top of my head, here are some of the many features that can affect the price of a laptop:

- Size of the laptop (thinner and smaller is usually more expensive)
- Screen resolution (how many pixels the screen has), as well as screen glossiness
- Construction material/quality
- Battery life
- Weight
- Processor (CPU)
- Amount of RAM; number of RAM modules installed
- Size and speed of hard drive
- Wireless connectivity
- Graphics card
- External ports, like VGA, DVI, USB, Firewire, Parallel port, etc
- Warranty period
- Fingerprint reader
- Bluetooth
- Optical drive (CD ROM, CDRW, DVD ROM, DVD RW, etc)

Generally you really can’t compare two laptops “at a glance”; you’ll have to pretty thoroughly investigate all the differences.

In a nutshell:

Many, many factors.

The primary ones are the main components of a computer system: primary memory (also known as memory), secondary memory (also known as hard disk storage), video memory, and processing speed.

Since a Windows pc is extremely configurable, a laptop computer can have an infinite number of combinations in the configuration of one or more of these primary components.

For example, the a higher processing speed in a CPU chip class maybe cheaper than a lower processing speed in another CPU chip class, or maybe the video memory is shared with the main memory.

Another factor is the motherboard used as well as the connectivity of the pc.
