HP Notebook - 15-bs001ni

Good day, 

 

My 

HP Notebook - 15-bs001ni only has 4GB of RAM in. I would like to upgrade it to at least 16GB. What type of RAM should I order? On the Takealot website can I just type in DDR-3 sodimm RAM? Just do not want to order RAM that will not fit into the slot in my notebook. The part number for the current RAM is M471B5173DB0-YK0

If somebody can please assist me? 

 

Thank you

Hi:

 

Notebooks with the Intel Celeron N3060 processors only have one memory slot and the maximum memory the slot will support is 1 x 8 GB of DDR3L-1600.

 

So, in order to upgrade the memory, you will have to remove the 4 GB memory chip and install an 8 GB memory chip.

 

This should be a compatible 8 GB memory chip for your notebook:

 

Timetec 8GB DDR3L / DDR3 1600MHz (DDR3L-1600) PC3L-12800 / PC3-12800(PC3L-12800S) Non-ECC Unbuffered...

Thanks so much, Paul

You're very welcome.

Will this laptop not accept 16GB of RAM? And if not, why do you think it only accepts 8GB?

HP Recommended

16 GB of memory is almost guaranteed not to work.

 

Intel's specs for the processor indicates it can only support up to 8 GB of memory.

 

Intel® Celeron® Processor N3060

 

I'd normally say, 'go ahead and take a gamble on it,' but a 16 GB DDR3L-1600 memory chip is very expensive because hardly any notebook supported a 16 GB memory chip in the memory slot.

 

$140 is probably more than your notebook is worth nowadays.
