HOLY COW! I thought upgrading my ram was going to be so much more difficult. thanks so much for this video!

Great info and a fun watch, Jarrod 👍 fwiw, I don't see this content as a missed opportunity for another review. Makes JT a one stop shop for model suggestions and for answers to the inevitable questions about upgrading the most popular units.

Thanks for this. Very clear and easy to follow, and honestly exactly what I needed. Legend!

Many thanks - just installed a 1TB HD into our L340 - one minor issue is the connecting table flip-over flange popping out (or having a malfunctioning hinge). The good news is you can still insert the flat cable and secure with some electric tape and that all gets sandwiched and held in place by the M2 SSD reinsertion :)

Very good video. I changed ram from 8 to 16 by following the steps and it worked properly. Thanks a lot!

Have you done this? How did you set the system to use SSD instead of HDD while it is still inside? Thanks

0:33 - taking the back off 0:47 - RAM replacing 1:27 - WiFi card replacing 2:04 - 2.5" HDD or SSD installation

I went a similar way - bought an L340 with i7-9750HF, 8GB RAM, 256GB NVMe and 1TB HDD (as I wanted to have this caddy already here - and the disk can still be used as an external drive in an USB case). So, I swapped the RAM against 16GB, had both an NVMe 2TB SSD and a SATA 2TB SSD. OS had to be installed manually anyway (the laptop came with FreeDOS), so no migration necessary. Your video definitely helped me choosing this procedure, and this machine is really a beast of a laptop in this price range.

@@sssoban guess the game should definitely take profit of the RAM. Can't tell you how it would perform as I don't play it, but as far as I could see via Google, Warzone can take up to 12-13GB(!), so 16GB should do good. As for games I play, BF4 runs quite well (around 80FPS on 1080p), and BFV runs OK (although some Pacific maps do drag me down to the 20-30FPS, even on low settings). And Cities Skylines (a memory hog if you play with some mods and lots of assets - my game takes easily 20GB+ of RAM) made me upgrade to 32GB of RAM, so it does not have to use the page file.

This is an awesome review! Keep it up. It helps!

thanks for the video! Lucky for me, my came with the HDD caddy but no sata cable nor hdd. Going to order the cable and attach the HDD from my previous laptop.

I don't know much about these things but would it be possible (or advisable) to upgrade to 16GB DDR4 2666 ram rather than 2400? If yes, would it make a difference in terms of performance?

Hello Jarrod/everyone, I followed your tutorial on my Lenovo L340 step by step with the same components. Actually everything worked smoothly, so first of all thank you so much. However now I've got the feeling that maybe my laptop is overheating too much (80°/85° in MSI afterburner on Pes20 and GTA5) mostly in the zone of the Ram. Because of this I'd really appreciate your feedback in your experience after upgrading the laptop, thus I can know if these temperatures are normal or not (I also have an airflow cooler). The only thing I have changed besides the new ram and SSD it's the internal configuration to run games with the 1650 in the Nvidia control panel instead of the default configuration (which I think it's kind of a mix between both GPUs, correct me if I'm wrong). Would you guys have some ideas or advice about this? Thank you in advance 😊 .

Hi! Interestingly, this is actually available in the Philippines with a "sort of" dual-channel option, but only for the i5 variants (i7 versions are stuck with 8gb single channel). Our i5 variants here have 4gb ddr4 2400mhz soldered onboard, but have 1 open ram slot on the board, capable of 20gb (4+16 dual channel) max! They recently announced a sale here where you could grab an i5/4gb/512ssd/gtx1650 for around 43,995 philippine pesos, or roughly US$876 (with tax applied) with MS Office 2019 Home & Student preinstalled and 2 years Onsite premium care warranty and a separate 2.5" drive bracket out of the box.
