Difficulty: EasyRAM Types and Characteristics

A technician is purchasing replacement RAM for a portable business laptop. Which RAM module form factor should the technician select to match the physical slots of the laptop motherboard?

  1. Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM)Answer
  2. B
    Standard Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
  3. C
    Dual-Channel Memory Module
  4. D
    M.2 PCIe Storage Module

Answer

Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) is the correct memory form factor engineered for laptop motherboards.
Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Module (SO-DIMM) is specifically manufactured in a smaller footprint to fit memory expansion slots in laptops and compact computer systems.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target device system environment
The target system is a laptop, which requires compact internal hardware components.
Laptops use specialized small form factor hardware due to space constraints.
2
Determine the corresponding physical memory form factor
Laptops use SO-DIMM memory modules.
SO-DIMMs are approximately half the length of desktop DIMMs.
