it is our business!!! Kingston is one of the few memory manufacturers that offer MicroDimm memory for a select amount of laptops available that require MicroDimm technology. It takes extra care, engineering, machinery and know how to make the smaller size MicroDimms memory work properly. Additionally, Kingston is usually first to support new laptop model releases, as memory options for new laptops are introduced and supported on a daily basis, usually with Kingston engineering working in conjunction with the system OEM. Kingston is often the only source.
