Good Night.
I recently updated my Late 2015 iMac 27" " by installing a Nvme WD_Black SN850X and 32Gb of Ram (4x8Gb).
I keep 8Gb 1867MHz DDR3 Ram memory (2x4Gb) that were removed to install the 32Gb.
I have purchased a MacBook Air from 2015 that has 4Gb (2x2Gb) of 1600MHz DDR3 Ram installed.
My question is: can I use my 8Gb 1867MHz DDR3 Ram memory (2x4Gb) in my 2015 MacBook Air which is installed (2x2Gb) DDR3?

I don't believe that the RAM can be replaced in a 2015 MacBook Air; by that point Apple was using soldered RAM in their laptops. See this description:


(scroll down to the section "Standard RAM", then click on the Maximum Ram link to open that section)

I wanted to install an Nvme and expand the Ram, as I did with my 27" iMac, obtaining excellent results. So, listening to yours comments, although the purchase price is good (150€) and the aesthetic aspect as well, I don't think that a device that is limited to 4Gb of Ram is worth it.
Thank you so much.
