Crucial 16GB DDR5 5200 MHz SO-DIMM Laptop Memory Kit (2 x 8GB)

The Crucial CT2K8G52C42S5 is a 16 GB DDR5 5200 MT/s SO-DIMM kit built for laptops and compact systems that need a quick, energy-efficient memory upgrade. Delivered as two 8 GB modules, it supplies the bandwidth and capacity required to keep multiple applications responsive while you browse, create, game, or work on the go.

Each module follows the 262-pin SO-DIMM layout and operates at just 1.1 V. The DDR5 design divides the module into two independent 32-bit channels to move data more efficiently, and on-die error correction silently repairs single-bit faults before they reach the operating system. A power management IC sits on the module itself, reducing electrical noise and sustaining consistent performance.

The kit is non-ECC and unbuffered, so it installs easily in most consumer laptops and small form factor PCs without server-class requirements. With no external heat spreader, the modules fit beneath the low-profile covers found in thin and light notebooks. Installation is straightforward: open the access panel, align the notch, press the module into the slot, and secure it until the retaining clips click.

Students juggling virtual classes, creatives editing high-resolution media, and gamers looking for faster load times will all notice a smoother, more responsive experience after the upgrade. Crucial backs the kit with a limited lifetime warranty, giving you long-term confidence in its reliability.
