I want to buy memory and the previous memory was Samsung PC3-10600 1333Mhz. How much memory frequency does my laptop support?
And does my laptop support 1600Mhz, PC3L-12800 and 1600Mhz, PC3-12800 memory or not?

They will do the same thing PC3L is for low(er) voltage that means it will run cooler and consumes less power (on battery). You can use PC3 (also called DDR3) or PC3L (also called DDRL) but sometimes they can't run together, that means a laptop which has 2 slots of RAM you have to use both DDR3 or DDR3L, can't mix.

I know the difference between different types of memory. My problem is choosing a compatible type of memory. Considering that PC3 or DDR3 is written on both memory slots of my laptop, does my laptop model support 1.35 voltage in PC3L 12800 type or not? Despite the fact that my previous laptop RAM was Samsung PC3-10600 1333Mhz, and the voltage of this type of RAM is 1.5, does the laptop automatically support the newer model of memory by changing the memory voltage?
