This guide covers the process of replacing the random access memory (RAM) in your Lenovo Ideapad Flex 4-1470.
RAM serves as the middle man between the computer's central processing unit (CPU) and its Hard Drive. It stores information that the CPU is currently processing for quick random access.
If your computer's performance diminishes with prolonged use, it restarts of freezes sporadically or files become corrupted when used often, you may need to replace your RAM.
Replacing your RAM is also a good way to increase the speed of a cheaper or older computer as the RAM often "Bottlenecks" the system by limiting the amount of information the CPU has access to at a given time.

To Diane: Take your device to Best Buy Geek Squad or to Device Pit Stop. Otherwise, Do you have a skilled nephew / neighbor who can replicate this?
Can you please confirm if the DDR4 PC4-21300 RAM is accepted by the Flex4? Thanks!

Hey there,
Any suggestions on which RAM card to buy to replace this one? I have 2 GB of RAM now that came with the laptop and I obviously want to replace it to try and speed up my Lenovo. Will it damage the laptop if the RAM is “too much” for the pc? Can I find a single RAM card that is more than 8 GB or faster? What GB do you suggest for faster speeds?
Thanks for your help.
