juan2911 · Jul 20, 2014

Hey guys!
When I bouth my ASUS Q550L I also asked for 16GB RAM.
They told me that these ones where good: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Laptop-Memory-CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B0076W9Q5A

Are they ? I can't make them work with my laptop

Thanks for your time !

Well I tried looking you laptop up, I found a Asus Q550LF. When looking at the specs the max ram is 8GB. So you can get two 4G sticks or one 8GB stick. I would say get these.

StirB :

I understand, but I've already bought them. The guy that sold me this things at BestBuy told me they were compatible...

My laptop is Asus Q550L, I don't know if there's any difference between mine and Q550LF.

Thanks anyways for the answer !

Wow, Best Buy employees just cost you 150 bucks and there is nothing you will be able to do about it at the store, you will need to sue them locally which I seriously hope you do because they keep, not lieing cause that implies they ment to deceive, so... allowing untrained and unecucated employees pass themselves as "experts" costing consumers asinine amounts. But, whatever, some things will never change.

ANYWAYS, the reason they wont work is because the Q550LF or L uses DDR3L, or low voltage ram, 1.35V as opposed to the DDR3 1.5V that the Best Buy employees told you, like so many others, would work in that system.

Scroll down a little, they offer 2 ways to find compatible ram and they guarantee it if you order from them.

Just FYI I don't believe there is a Q550L. There are 2 different Q550LF, the Q550LF-BB17T07 and the Q550LF-BS17T21.

Oh ok I see, I just flipped mine to check the sticker, you are looking at the black sticker, look to the side of the black sticker,. the one with the bar code, directly under the bar code will be the full model number.

You Sir, are the real MVP here. I can't explain how thanked I am to you (srry for my english). I'm from Argentina, I can't sue them, I think. I think I bought the guarantee too, but I don't know if that helps.
