the gaming laptop that served this workshop before the move — an 8 GB mobile GPU, closer to 6 GB usable

This shelf has never named the card inside it. That is a fact about what was published, not a gap in this table.

Memory — what fits, and at which context

Sorted by model, then by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. Every condition the page states is printed; a condition it does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. The columns a narrow screen cannot hold are printed under the row rather than scrolled to.

Where it appears

Every released exhibit that names this identity, in the shelf’s own order. A count beside an exhibit is how many of its figures are carried above — and it links them, because a number with no way back to what it counts is the thing this shelf exists against.

How this one is named here

The canonical name above is the full product name. Everything below is a spelling a published page or kit has actually used for it, kept so a reader who searches an older page’s words lands on this row. The set is closed and historical: no page cut after 2026-09-17 writes a memory class where it can write a card.
