Hi:

 

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

 

The memory upgrade info can be found in chapter 1.

 

2 x 8 GB is supported.

The fastest speed the memory can run at in your model is 2133 MHz, so installing any memory faster than that, will downclock the memory to 2133 MHz.

 

Buy whatever speed memory is cheapest (2133, 2400...).

You're very welcome.

 

There is nothing I can think of.

 

Just make sure you are buying memory for a notebook PC and not a desktop PC.

 

This would be a typical DDR4-2133 notebook memory module...
