That's what I thought. Thanks!

Dell Inspiron 15 5570, it's about a year old, I don't think they even offer it with less than 8Gb anymore.

Yes, sorry it's an i3-8130U. And you can do that? Like I said, I'm a newbie, but I thought that you always wanted to have matching RAM sizes. I'm probably wrong, but do you lose anything by running mismatched?

Hey guys, I've been watching LTT for a while, but I've never built a PC or done any upgrading before, and I'm looking to upgrade the RAM on my laptop. Right now its got 4Gb of DDR4 2400mhz, and I'm looking to go to 16Gb. I have two main questions, the first of which being whether I should go with 1 16Gb stick, or two 8Gb sticks. Do I gain anything going either way? My second question is about speed. How big of a difference would it make if I upgraded to 2666mhz, 2933mhz, or 3000mhz? Would I run into compatibility issues since my laptop shipped with 2400mhz RAM? Thanks in advance.
