Just found that Kingston released some new HuperX series called Plug n Play. Check there Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Kingston HyperX, Laptop Memory, DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
And Also they released new DDR3-15000 Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Kingston HyperX, Laptop Memory, DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000)
Do not know why but someone surely will buy...

What exactly is it? Just high clocked RAM?

Umm, does "plug and play" mean that the RAM hot-swappable, in the sense that a mouse or an external monitor is?

I would imagine any machine that is low enough on the tech scale to be using integrated graphics is also going to have a locked bios where you can not configure RAM speed.
Unfortunately with laptops most often it seems if you do not have the ability to manually set the RAM speed in bios it will default faster ram to a slower speed making paying more for faster ram totally pointless.
Even if you can run the RAM at a faster speed you will not notice any difference in performance vs the same amount of ram at a lower speed. -
NOW ABOUT THIS RAM:
1. I still do not get how it can be used if even Extreme i7 processors of 2-nd gen are only 1600 Mhz bus?! I mean if it has better timings for 1600 it is OK but does 1866 Mhz can be used by new i7 CPUs?
2. About 10 hrs ago I tried to search smth about this new RAM on official Kingston site. What did I found? That is interesting.
On ENGLISH (or usa) kingston page I found no new SODimms at all! The fastest onу was 1333/1600 Mhz RAM we all saw before. Schedule of SoDimm RAM sticks available on Kingston URL
Even more interesting was that on RUSSIA kingston site which looks the same except language of text I DID found new 4GB SODimm Kit RAM 1866 Mhz. But it somewhy had 9CL timings on 1866 Mhz and I even downloaded technical sheet. Also it's serial number was KHX1866 C9S3K2/4GX That c9 means 9CL timings. Schedule of SoDimm RAM sticks available on Kingston RUSSIA URL.
This is a link of downloaded PDF data sheet However I believe that if there were instructions how to use toilet paper written on pdf it would take more pages than this official kingston data sheet has. I would call it Official MINI data sheet on memory stick because I do not see any schedule of what timings would this stick use on different JEDEC standards by default.
Now about that review of Kingston RAM I posted link above:
I will write about that marketing crap little bit later -
I actually had a feeling reading all that that it is this guy talked to me about how good new HyperX memory is. I am not even sure they told true. -
cas 11 ??????????????? bad bad bad

Also if he ever made another comparison before he would never compare 6GB vs 8GB comparing speed or timings! I was LMAO when he compared bandwidth. How could he do that if 8GB works in DUAL channel while 6GB will ALWAYS works IN FLEX mode??! Sorry for Caps Lock.
NEW Kingston HyperX Plug n Play RAM! What is it? PC3-15000 MHZ??!
