Without knowing the CPU, you'll want to match that DIMM as closely as possible.

You'll need DDR3L (Low-Voltage), 1600 MHz memory. Sometimes this is also called PC3L-12800

As long as it isn't a 1st Generation Intel Core CPU, it should be able to run an 8 GB stick.

well the one i linked seems to cover the specs you mentioned and the cpu is an intel core i3-4010u which is 4th generation if i am not wrong so i guess i will go with that one thanks for the help
