Hi,

I am buying some RAM to upgrade a lenovo T420 ThinkPad and wish to double
check it is compatible...

The upgrade RAM in question is listed as:
"Timetec 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR3L/ DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 Unbuffered Non-ECC
1.35V CL11 2Rx8 Dual Rank 204 Pin SODIMM Laptop Notebook Computer Memory
RAM Module for Intel and AMD"

dmidecode on a T420 ThinkPad shows this information on the current RAM:
