    I just bought LifeBook t902 i7 and want to upgrade RAM. However, I feel confused about which brand I should get. I have several options here, please share your thought

    1/ Corsair 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 SODIMM Memory Kit VALUE SELECT BRAND: cheapest is $ 121.98 at this link
    2/ Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3L 1333 MT/s (PC3-10600) CL9 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V: is $ 130.57 at this link
    3/ Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10) is $ 144.35 at this link
    4/ Corsair Apple Certified 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory (CMSA16GX3M2A1333C9): it says APPLE but same bus frequency so why not? is $ 138.75
    5/ HyperX Plug n Play 16GB (2x8GB) Kit of 2 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 SODIMM Notebook Memory KHX16S9P1K2/16 is $ 169.74 at this link

    The HyperX is more expensive than others. Is it worth to spend more money on it? I read reviews about Corsair and it seems quality is down recently.
    What do you think about these options? Thank you :hi2:

    Since no one replied, if you use the IGP intensively, then the HyperX might be worth it (lower latency), otherwise, CL10 SODIMMs are fine. I'm running a 4x8 GB Vengeance config and I've had no issues yet. The 4 GB 1866 MHz Vengeance SODIMMS have been known to be flaky, but the 8 GB ones (both 1600 and 1866) are behaving correctly as far as I know. I'd go for 1600 MHz RAM at least too.
