      There are differences between ddr3 and ddr4 so-dimm ram so you will need to check your laptop by either checking the spec sheet or speaking with the manufacturer and giving them the model number. Most modern laptops are so-dimm however there may be high end gaming/workstation laptops that use non so-dimm ram similar to a PC tower. Again check your laptop as there are hundreds and hundreds of different models and configuration.

      Don't buy, no such thing as a 1TB ram stick, especially not for $40. 32gb is more than enough for most laptops. If you're doing high end gaming or 3d rendering, then yes, more is better.
      And no, ram does not store long term data, so it will not affect your files.

    Do all computer have the same RAM?

      Well of course not... There are different generations of memory over the past 25+ years. Modern computers usually have DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. RAM is neither backwards nor forwards compatible.

    I bought DDR3/DDR3L SODIMM for my DELL Latitude E6430 and I'm ready to upgrade it from 8GB to 16GB. I'm going to do the same to the Lenovo IdeaPad N580.
