DDR3 into DDR3L Laptop?
I was wondering if you could swap the DDR3L 8GB RAM stick in the Dell Inspiron 13 7359, with a 8GB DDR3 RAM stick. On the board it is printed "only for DDR3L", but couldn't you swap? I don't necessarily know if any benefits would even come with a swap but am generally just curious.

Cobyh7,
Unfortunately, you cannot swap the memory.
Below are the memory specs for your computer.
Memory module connector One SO-DIMM slot
Memory module capacities 4 GB and 8 GB
Memory type DDR3L 1600 MHz
Minimum memory 4 GB
Maximum memory 8 GB

Starting with Haswell (4th generation) mobile CPUs, DDR3L is no longer optional - it's required.
Older systems can generally use either - newer ones, including yours -- require DDR3L.
