12GB single or 8GB dual? Your choice depends on your needs.
For faster performance like gaming, an 8GB dual is ideal. For more storage needs, a 12GB single is better.
I haven't soldered anything. I have two 4GB RAM modules and one 8GB module, with one 4GB being 1333 and the others at 1600. I'm not sure if my laptop can handle 1600, though it's a T420.
12 GB offers a flexible setup where the first 8 GB use dual channels, and the remaining 4 GB operate in single-channel mode. For those requiring more than 8 GB, choosing 12 GB provides a more advantageous overall experience.
