what is sodimm ram

SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) RAM is a type of computer memory module commonly used in laptops and small form factor (SFF) computers. It has a smaller footprint and thinner profile compared to the larger DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) used in desktop computers, allowing it to fit into constrained spaces. SODIMMs come in various sizes and configurations, and they are available in a range of capacities and speeds, such as DDR, DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4. They are easily user-replaceable, making it relatively straightforward to upgrade the memory in a laptop or SFF machine. SODIMM is designed for lower power consumption and is suitable for use in laptops and other small form factor machines
