"hand-tested"? lol.

A truly manual test would involve breadboards and DIP switches with horrendous human error factor. Memtest86 or ASIC/FPGA-driven testbeds count as heavily automated in my book even if the DIMM swapping itself is "entirely" manual.
 
[citation][nom]huggles12[/nom]I thought the Memory in most ultrabooks were soldered in?[/citation]

This was my understanding also, I am not sure if this will be a very lucrative market for Patriot..
 
Yea my Sony Vaio T ultrabook has one ram dimm soldered in and one open. I just added 4 gb in for a total of 8.

They will probably charge a premium for "ultrabook" memory which is ludicrous because normal ones work fine
 
I would like to start seeing this voltage RAM in a desktop form factor too. Having 8 RAM chips at 1.5 volts would certainly be several watts of savings at 1.35 volts.
 
the modules will be backed by a limited lifetime warranty and customer support

Can we please stop calling it "lifetime" or "limited lifetime" and just list the years already? That marketing gimmick has really started to get on my nerves in the past couple of years.

You can get some 1.35 volt stuff for desktops

Samsung 30 nm Green - Hard to get some places
G-skill ECO - Sometimes hard to get
Corsair Vengeance low profile(Has to be white for 1.35 volt operation) Sold at most online stores.

Many desktop kits will also under volt to 1.35 if you are not pushing it. so 1333 @ 9-9-9-24. I have some old Corsair stuff that worked fine on 1.35

Lifetime should mean what it sounds like. My lifetime. Or as you said, put the years. Lifetime warranty(product lifetime is 10 years). Governments, do something useful and pass some laws already.
