Check your laptop model

Verify that your specific ThinkPad model appears in the compatible list such as T500 2055, 2056, 2081, 2082, 2083, 2087, 2088, 2089, 2241, 2242, 2243, 2246, 2247, 2261 or W500 2055, 4058, 4061, 4062, 4063, 4064, 4065. Ensure the notebook has two available 204-pin SODIMM slots to accept both modules.

Unbuffered SODIMM build with standard laptop fit

Each stick uses major brand chips in a 2Rx8 configuration without a heat spreader. The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor matches the factory memory slots in the listed ThinkPad models. Installation requires no tools beyond a small screwdriver to access the memory compartment.
