G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ

Pros: I can't really put any pros to this, it was kinda pricy and it died right after the warranty....

Cons: Defective hardware. It decided to start freezing my computer randomly and then quit working all together. Of course this all conveniently started in month 2 of using it so I can't return it....thanks for nothing. I have also read that I'm not the only person who has experienced this specific problem.

Other Thoughts: I put this in my ASUS laptop to bump it up from 8G to 16G. was Pretty sweet for a really short time. This is the first time I have ever had a G.Skill break on me but if this is a sign of where the company is going I'll spend my money elsewhere.

G.Skill RMA procedure|

Pros: N/A

Cons: Tried to go budget. Paid the price and now I have to deal with a hassle of returns. I get random app crashes with this cheap RAM in my new "Late 2012" Core i7 Mac Mini.

Other Thoughts: Returning for a real name brand: Crucial...which is what I should have gotten in the first place.

Dear Customer

We are sorry to hear you have issues. This memory kit is not compatible with the "Late 2012" Apple Mac Mini which is why you are having random crashes. Please contact NewEgg to exchange for the G.Skill FA-1600C11D-16GSQ. This is the correct memory model to upgrade your computer. With a proper memory kit, the Mac Mini will be very fast and stable without a glitch. Don't be fooled by the low price, price is not a function of quality. With G.Skill, you get the best price, performance, and service. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

Pros: Used it to upgrade a Dell Latitude E6420 and E6430 after verifying the chipset would support it. I run a couple of VMs. It gives no problems thus far.

Pros: 16gb total

Cons: could have been cheaper

Other Thoughts: It just works....

Pros: Did what it was intended to do on the first try. No dead sticks! G.Skill continues to shine!

Cons: Wasn't free?

Other Thoughts: A+++

Pros: Very fast memory. So so so... ummm.. Awesome :)

Cons: None. No failures, no errors.

Pros: It was really fast and it worked really well, for awhile.

Dear Customer

Glad to hear the memory was working well in your system. If you experience errors, test each module individually to see if one may be bad causing problems. If so, send them in for RMA exchange and a replacement should work flawlessly. Also, make sure you have the latest BIOS for the laptop. This is the best laptop memory on the market, so not many laptops are able to fully support it. Visit the official G.Skill website for complete RMA procedure. Once we receive the defective RAM, we can send a new kit to you immediately. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly.

G.Skill RMA procedure|

Pros: Fast, stable, no errors during memtest check. Installed in Lenovo T420s, all 16GB recognized no problem.

Cons: Not a fault with the memory, but my laptop ignored the memory specs and is running the memory at slower settings than the memory's SPD ratings. This is a bios limitation with the laptop.

Other Thoughts: Got this on sale at around the same price as slower speed ram, so no heartbreak over the laptop not running it at full rated speed. Shipping was fast but the cheap shipping was USPS in a bubble envelope with no real protection and the envelope had been folded. Luckily the fold did not break the ram in half, but the plastic wrapping was pretty damaged right next to the ram stick. Half an inch difference in where it was folded and it would have destroyed the memory during shipping. The package was not marked "do not fold". If you don't want to risk an immediate RMA, I suggest not using the super saver shipping since the packaging has zero protection and folding an envelope is not exactly an unusual occurrence in the mail especially if the package is not marked do not fold.
