Very good, sir.

I had already worked through this with John offlist two days ago, and
suggested he follow-up with something like this

---<snip>---

I suggest following up with:

Make/model: Kingston model KTL-TP3CL/8G
RAM size:  8GB
Format:  SO-DIMM (204-pin),
Generation of SDRAM:  DDR3L (where L is for low-voltage = 1.35V),
   but _compatible with_ all DDR3-using laptops (see below).
Speed: PC3-12800 (rated for up 1600 MHz)
Type: unbuffered
Data integrity: non-ECC

DDR3L SO-DIMMs are required for, among others, some recent laptops from
Lenovo, Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, and HP.   Note:  A DDR3L SODIMM will always
be compatible with laptops specified to use DDR3, but the reverse is not
always true.

This model is no longer in current production:  It has been replaced by
model KCP3L16SD8/8.

Commodity price: was about $65 new.

Or, reducing it to essentials, this is an 8GB stick that'll work 
in any laptop accepting DDR3 RAM.  It's great!  If your laptop accepts
DDR3, you want this.  Thanks, John!
