Should I purchase 4GB or 8GB Hynix DDR3-1600Mhz for my Laptop Ram upgrade ?

Hynix DDR3 2GB RAM--Speed:1066Mhz----Form factor:SODIMM--Single Rank--Max Bandwidth: PC3-12800(800Mhz).
Maximum capacity of Ram for my laptop is 8.33Gb (from cmd) .

Hi,

I would insert 8GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM

Ex:

On page 61 of service manual you can see the steps to install the RAM

I would also replace the Hard Drive with a cheap 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the BX500 or similar which would give an extra boost.

Hope it helps,

David

Hi, Thank you so much for reply.

Do you think my Intel dual core celeron N2810 @2.00 Ghz processor will work well with 8GB RAM ?

I  have heard that the tasks that can use 8GB, such as a bunch of chrome tabs, would be limited by the 2 threaded cpu...?

HI,

The notebook is never going to be super fast because of the CPU, however, 8GB will be better than 4 and the difference in price is not so large.
