hello, I don't think you can install them in a laptop, since the laptop ram is different then desktop ram but you can try these : Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10)

Greetings, this report is only for desktop pc, laptop using another model with other specifications, and are smaller memory modules.

Its important to know if they are compatible with the motherboard. Find out what your motherboard is. I think Alienware uses their own custom motherboards. Alienware may have a ram compatibility sheet. My motherboard was from Asus, and I went to their website to get the ram compatibility sheet. Since you're using a new gen i7, I'm not sure. There is also information to look out for concerning the 1600MHz. However, if you're using windows 7 home, you will have problems considering that os cant utilize more than 4gb of ram. Windows 8 home doesn't have any problems and should use up to 128 gb ram. However, the os doesn't dictate what is compatible with your processor and motherboard.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Hi I'm not sure but normally you would need 2 8 gb of ram tis without adding anything outo get the 16, Most all laptops have only 2 slots for ram and you want to keep them Balanced. Now a days you can also use a lump drive or thumb drive to do this, I put a 64 gig thumb drive in and use it to boost my Ram.

This is a bit tricky though. Normally, if its same manufacturer, in this case Hynix and the speed is the same as existing RAM at 1600Mhz, it should work. The RAM serial/model number might be different but for my case, when I ran the memory test on my laptop, it accepts the new RAM.

Ultrabooks cannot be upgraded in RAMs.Best bet would be to buy a 8GB RAM Ultrabook.The best way to get an answer to your question would be to contact the manufacturer?

When I checked online your laptop specs specify that it would support this memory. So it should but make sure your laptop is not DDR2 it will be written on the memory stick that is already inside your laptop. if it says DDR3 then you can proceed in buying this memory stick

I am not sure but it should work. To be sure, go to www.crucial.com and download their analysis tool. Run it on your laptop and it will specify your memory upgrade options. Then come back to Amazon and price those options to see who has the better deal.

Hi there,You would need to check the manual of your motherboard or computer model to verify the maximum capacity of RAM it can handle.This would not be appropriate due to this being ECC Registered while the RAM you need is Non-ECC. These are non-interchangeable and would produce errors if installed incorrectly. Thank you!

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

Doesn't appear to be, but it seems that other people [in their answers to questions like this] on the Amazon page have upgraded with RAM similar to this. I can't recommend that you purchase it though for the fact that it may not fill in properly [it seems like they're two different types of RAM to me]. I also can't recommend that you buy the ASUS A53Z-AS61, because for the same price you could get a much better laptop. Try to find a newer one in the same price range.

No that ram is for laptops. If you have a new laptop with windows it will work.

If you want to upgrade from 4GB of Ram to 8GB of Ram make sure you purchase one DDR3L memory stick. If you do not get the chip with L at end of DDR3 it won't work. You only need one chip to upgrade, that's what I did. I now have 8GB of RAM/

I was looking at the specs of the laptop, it has 4 Gb of RAM and the maximum is 8 Gb, and the type is 1066Mhz DDR3, so this RAM should be compatible with your laptop.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.
