Pros: Works perfectly without issue, and cpu-z shows it working exactly as advertised.
Cons: Didn't really increase my battery life like I'd hoped it would.
Overall Review: I bought this set as an upgrade for the 6GB my Acer V5-571P-6642 came with. The laptop has a 4-cell battery and only had about a 4-hour lifespan, so I bought this ram with the hope it would increase that by a bit. It DID increase it to 4 hours and 20 minutes, which IS an increase, but I was hoping for a little more. I'd also like to note that the upgrade from 6GB to 8GB was almost entirely unnoticeable in my experience. Given the option to do it again, I think I would've just stuck with what I had. However, if you have 2-4 gigs it's definitely worth it.
