My laptop just broke and the ram on my PC is terrible, so on my laptop I have 1rx8 ram and on my PC it has 2rx8 ram. Is there anyway to add that ram?

No, laptop ram and desktop ram are not interchangeable. Laptop ram is much smaller.

There is really no point in replacing laptop RAM, It is a lot harder to access and it is a lot easier to bugger up the laptop in the process.

Laptop RAM is SODIMM and PC RAM is DIMM. So as the first poster said, its not possible to interchange them. Unless of course you have a motherboard specifically made to handle SODIMM memory for small form factors.
