Anywhere people recommend for buying second hand or refurbished PC parts? I’m looking to upgrade my girlfriend’s laptop because she’s trying to live in 2025 with 8gb ram. I know ram prices are meant to be crazy right now but I hope people aren’t paying top shelf for second hand laptop memory.
The only places I know of either sell new or refurbished full PCs.
I had to buy a new laptop to move on from living on 8gb in 2025, the RAM was soldered on for my old laptop. Looks like I might have bought at the right time if RAM prices are going to make new laptops more expensive? Good luck searching!
You bought at the right time. The demand for compute means the AI companies are gobbling up all the RAM, I’m sure they’d find servers with slots for laptop RAM.
I got my girlfriend a Dell, and whilst I have my issues with them at least they have that workstation DNA where they come apart alright and everything is removable

You need an overclockers forum account, the sales section unlocks after 3 months.
What kind of RAM? I think I’ve got some 4gb laptop ram about.
It’s got an SSD too yeah?
I was going to join that years ago but it wanted the email from your ISP which contains identifying info for me
I’ve joined with Gmail.
Oh did they change it?
I guess, idk that they didn’t accept gmail.
