Hello all!
I am about to buy a HP 15-AY000NP with this specifications:
CPU - Intel Celeron N3060 1.6Ghz
GPU - Intel HD 400
RAM - 4 GB
Storage space - 500 GB
I wanted to know how many RAM slots does it have and what is the maximum RAM it can have running.
Also, if possible, I would like to know if it can be overclocked.
Kind regards,
Gil Carvalho

Your laptop has a single memory slot and can run up to 8 gigs of RAM in it. This is the Service manual:
It is very hard to understand because it covers so many models but under the entry for models with the Celeron N3060 is an entry for single memory slot. If you are unsure it is not too hard to remove the back cover (see p. 52) and just have a look. If there are 2 slots it will take up to 16 gigs of RAM.
There is no way to overclock the processor and even if you put 16 gigs of RAM in it you are going to find that it struggles with everyday tasks. It is a very weak processor, one of the least powerful HP put in a consumer laptop. There are cell phones that have more processing power. You have to limit your expectations for what it can do.
