The right upgrade depends on what's actually slow
More RAM and a faster SSD solve different problems. If your laptop is slow to start, slow to open programs, or still running on a traditional hard drive, an SSD upgrade usually gives the single biggest, most noticeable improvement. If your laptop specifically struggles when you have many programs or browser tabs open at once, more RAM is the more relevant fix.
We check your exact model's supported RAM type and speed, and its drive interface, before ordering any part — fitting the wrong specification is the most common way a laptop upgrade goes wrong. If you're moving to a new SSD, we migrate your existing data across as part of the job.

RAM & SSD upgrades — common questions
1. Will a RAM or SSD upgrade actually make my laptop faster?
An SSD upgrade (especially from a hard drive) usually gives the biggest, most noticeable speed improvement. More RAM helps most when your laptop struggles with many programs or browser tabs open at once. We check what's actually limiting your laptop before recommending either.
2. Will I lose my files during a RAM or SSD upgrade?
RAM upgrades don't touch your files at all. SSD upgrades usually involve migrating your existing data to the new drive, which we handle as part of the job — but we still recommend having a backup, the same advice we'd give for any hardware work.
3. How do you know which RAM or SSD will actually work in my laptop?
We check your exact laptop model's supported RAM type/speed and drive interface before ordering anything — fitting the wrong spec is the most common way a DIY upgrade fails.
