. my laptop model is LENOVO ideapad 310, can anyone explain why it shows 8gb instead of 4.
 
Solution
You have memory that is soldered to the motherboard which is indicative of slot1 and the additional stick of ram on the memory slot which is indicative of slot2. Can you share the SKU to your Lenovo Ideapad 310?
