Laptop HP. Upgrade RAM 8 to 16 Gb. What kind of RAM I need

[attorianzo1]

Hi all,
I want to upgrade RAM to my old laptop HP 15-n281ea --> https://support.hp.com/my-en/document/c04206508
At the moment I have "8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L SDRAM (1 x 4 GB, 1 x 4 GB)"
I never use battery on my laptop.
Please what kind of RAM would you suggest to get best performances in my old pc?
Thanks

Hi:

Your notebook can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR3L memory.

This would be a compatible 8 GB memory module for your PC.

Crucial CT102464BF160B Memoria da 8 GB (DDR3L, 1600 MT/s, PC3L-12800, SODIMM, 204-Pin) 1.35V: Amazon...

Or the 16 GB kit....

Thank you so much!

Do you think I can get some kind of faster RAM?

You're very welcome.

Your notebook's processor can only run the memory at 1600 MHz, and there is only one step higher DDR3L memory - 1866 MHz..

It is very hard to find, and it would be a complete waste of money because it will only bridge to 1600 MHz to match the speed your notebook's processor can run the memory at.
