• Memory type: DDR4 SDRAM, SO-DIMM, 260-pin
• Speed / Data rate: 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600)
• CAS Latency: CL22
• Voltage: 1.2 V
• ECC / error-checking: Non-ECC, unbuffered (i.e. consumer-grade RAM for notebooks, mini-PCs, AIOs)
• Module layout: 1 × 16 GB (single module)

Key Features

• Capacity: 16 GB — plenty for modern multitasking, productivity, and everyday workloads.
• Memory type: DDR4 SDRAM — a modern standard for performance and efficiency.
• Speed / Data rate: 3200 MT/s (PC4-25600) — fast data transfer rates for responsive system behaviour.
• Form factor: 260-pin SO-DIMM — suitable for laptops, mini-PCs, All-in-One systems and other compact devices.
• Voltage: 1.2 V — energy-efficient operation, which helps reduce power consumption and heat (beneficial for laptops).
• Error checking: Non-ECC, Unbuffered — standard for consumer laptops and notebooks, no server-grade error-correction built in (which is fine for everyday use).
• CAS latency: CL22 — defines the delay between a request and when data is available. A typical latency for this type of module given its speed.
• Compatibility: Designed for notebooks, mini-PCs, All-in-One systems, and other systems that accept DDR4 SO-DIMM modules.
• Single-module layout: 1 × 16 GB — useful if upgrading from a smaller RAM or adding to an existing empty slot.
• Energy efficiency & modern DDR4 advantages: As a DDR4 module, it benefits from the lower power draw and higher density and reliability improvements over older DDR3 memory.

What it’s good for

• It’s designed for laptops, small-form-factor PCs, mini-PCs or all-in-one systems — basically devices that require SO-DIMM instead of desktop-sized DIMMs.
• With 16 GB at 3200 MT/s, it’s a solid upgrade for general computing tasks: multitasking, productivity applications, even light gaming or media editing (assuming other hardware is adequate).
• Because it’s unbuffered and non-ECC, it works well for regular consumer laptops/PCs (not server/enterprise systems).

What to check before buying / using

• Check your laptop’s supported RAM specs — make sure it accepts DDR4 SO-DIMM, 260-pin, and supports 3200 MT/s (or else the RAM may run at a lower speed).
• If your laptop uses 2 memory slots and you want dual-channel operation: better to match modules (same brand, size, speed) — mixing different RAM sometimes works but may limit speed or cause instability.
• CAS latency is CL22; while fine for most use, lower-latency RAM (e.g. CL20 or CL16) would offer slightly better performance — but often with a small practical difference for everyday tasks.

What Kingston is known for / Why many people choose it

• Quality & Reliability — Kingston claims to component-qualify all memory chips and to 100% test each module during production.
• Wide Compatibility — Because Kingston supports so many types of systems and configurations, their modules tend to work reliably across many laptops, desktops, servers, etc.
• Long Experience & Market Presence — Having been around since 1987, Kingston has decades of experience and has built a reputation in the memory/storage market.
• Versatility in Products — Their product lines range from budget-oriented to performance-focused (for gaming, servers, enterprise use).

Ideal Use Cases

• Upgrading a laptop for better multitasking and faster everyday responsiveness
• Running multiple applications at once (browsers, office tools, communication apps) smoothly
• Student or office work: document editing, research, online meetings, cloud apps
• Light to moderate creative tasks — e.g. photo editing, graphic design, light video editing
• Small-form-factor PCs or mini-PCs that require SO-DIMM memory
• Playing entry-/mid-level games or running moderately demanding software (given adequate CPU/GPU)
• Extending the usable life and performance of older laptops or systems
