RAM for Thinkpad t580

What sort of RAM would I look at for a Thinkpad t580, if I bought third party? It is in fact SODIMM right? It's been a while since I've done much with laptops, but it somewhat sounds like they're describing full desktop class RAM. Also am I likely to even get a cheaper price not purchasing the RAM upgrade thru Lenovo? If I ordered the lowest configurable RAM, would the device delivered still support the maximum 36GB, if I ordered elsewhere? Thanks! I really appreciate the help of someone who is more in the thinkpad world

1. Yes SODIMM. Match the frequency and timings and mostly probably it will work regardless of RAM brand

2. Usually it will be cheaper if you upgrade RAM/storage by yourself

3. If you order one 16GB stick then you can add another 16GB stick to be 32GB in total
