We will update this page as often as possible to highlight any computer memory deals. Prices will most likely increase for the rest of 2026 and into 2027, but adding RAM remains one of the surefire ways to improve performance on any upgradable computer or laptop.
An extra bit of memory can breathe new life into your system, making heavy tasks like gaming and coding a breeze. While you may want to postpone any purchase right now, don't expect prices to go back to 2025 levels anytime soon.
The memory shortage is real, and right now this is the new normal. There are bargains to be had, but you will have to be quick as they tend to be very short-lived.
Even if you were thinking of buying a PC or laptop instead of building your own setup this year, you can often save a bit of cash by not paying extra for an upgraded RAM model.
This can be quite an expensive way to add memory, and it’s far cheaper to purchase RAM separately, especially if you can find the best RAM deals we have found below.
We have memory deals for everyone: desktop PC and laptop memory (which can be used in mini PCs), both in DDR4 and DDR5 as well as multiple capacities (8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 48GB and 64GB).

What is RAM?
RAM is an acronym for Random-Access Memory. It is one of the fundamental pieces of the digital storage that sits alongside the processor (or CPU) and classic storage (usually coined as ROM for Read Only Memory).
RAM is needed in order to facilitate data transfer to and from your system storage (can be hard disk drive or solid state drive). The processor is the one that does the compute, the calculations etc and just next to it sits the cache, which is a super fast version of RAM but only available in tiny amounts (up to a couple of hundreds of MB at most).
Then comes RAM (usually around 16GB on standard computers) and beyond that system storage. The further they are from the processor, the cheaper they are per unit storage and the slower they become. Check out our indepth explainers below
