Even if you buy faster RAM, it will still run at the lower speed,
If that is the exact RAM which is in your notebook at the moment, you should buy it, as it is guaranteed to work and will also run in dual channel mode.
So, yes the best choice would be the same RAM.

Hi,
Your PC supports max 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz (2x8GB) even if service manual mentions 8GB.
The RAM will run at 1333MHz. The notebook came with one 8GB module, so you can add another 8GB module in the empty slot.
You can use DDR3 or DDR3L RAM.
Example:
