Samsung 8GB DDR3 204-pin SODIMM PC3L-12800 Memory Module

The Samsung M471B1G73EB0-YK0 is an 8 GB DDR3L memory module that fits the 204-pin SODIMM slot found in many laptops and small form factor desktops. It follows the PC3L-12800 specification, which means it runs at 1600 MHz while drawing only 1.35 V. If your notebook feels sluggish when you juggle multiple browser tabs, large spreadsheets, or creative software, adding this module can open up extra headroom without pushing your battery or cooling system too hard.

Because the module is single-rank, it remains compatible with a wide range of systems that accept DDR3L. Installation is straightforward: power down the laptop, release the existing SODIMM latch, slide this module into the slot at a slight angle, and press down until it clicks. No extra tools or BIOS tweaks are typically required, making it a quick weekend project for students, remote workers, or anyone who wants to refresh an older machine rather than replace it.

Whether you are editing photos on the go, streaming high-resolution video, or running virtual machines for development work, an 8 GB upgrade can make day-to-day tasks smoother and reduce the amount of time your system spends accessing slower storage. The low-voltage design also helps keep heat generation in check, an advantage for thin-and-light notebooks with limited airflow.
