Difficulty: MediumLaptop Hardware Components and Upgrades

A field technician is procuring hardware components to upgrade the system memory on a fleet of corporate laptops. Which of the following RAM form factors must the technician select to ensure physical compatibility with the laptop motherboard slots?

  1. SO-DIMMAnswer
  2. B
    Standard DIMM
  3. C
    Display Inverter RAM
  4. D
    Thunderbolt bus module

Answer

SO-DIMM is the required RAM form factor for laptop hardware upgrades.
SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) is specifically engineered for laptops and portable computing hardware where internal footprint is limited.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the target device form factor
The devices being upgraded are corporate laptops.
Laptops require small-form-factor internal components due to space restrictions.
2
Match the memory expansion requirement to the appropriate RAM specification
Laptops require SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) modules.
SO-DIMMs are roughly half the length of standard desktop memory modules, allowing them to fit into laptop motherboards.
