You can probably immediately guess the differences between desktop computers and laptops. After all, the size is a very obvious difference. That size correlates with everything that makes a laptop. The circuitry is smaller and so are the vital components. A desktop computer is not as mobile as a laptop.
It does not come with its own battery to fuel its processes and you have to have a separate screen for the monitor. The laptop is essentially a smaller version of your desktop computer that is used for its mobility.

Once you are familiar with the differences between desktop computers and laptops, you will need to turn inside to see the minute differences. The desktop will utilize a different memory module than the laptop. The difference is in the Random Access Memory and the type of modules that are used. The desktop uses a DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module and the laptop uses a SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module).
The SO-DIMM is more or less equal to the DIMM in power and speed, but since laptops are space constricted, they are smaller and must utilize less space for the same comparable speeds. There is also a different procedure for upgrading notebooks in comparison to the desktop computer.
You will also need to know that there is a distinct difference between an Apple memory and that of a Compaq memory. It is important to only buy products that work with your particular model and series if you want the upgrade to work well for your particular laptop.
The basics of laptops are pretty easy to master once you have the right information. When you do get all the information you need, do yourself a favor and store it in a safe spot for future reference.
Also keep any accompanying literature or information that may come with the computer memory upgrade module. By keeping the information handy you can always have it on hand when you need to buy more parts and pieces to help your laptop run even better.
