This is all i can see in CPU z @SansVarnic   @mariushm

This picture tells you that the 4 GB memory stick runs at 1600 Mhz ( 2 x 798.1 mhz = almost 1600 Mhz)   and that it's CL 11  which is average for that frequency.

This picture tell you that the current memory stick is regular DDR3, because you see there voltage is 1.5v , for all profiles.

The motherboard can choose the highest compatible profile and configure the memory stick accordingly - and your motherboard chose JEDEC #7 profile, configuring the memory stick at 1600 Mhz (2x800) , CL 11 , 1.5v

The memory stick says it can also work at 2x761 = 1533 Mhz , or 2 x 685 = ~1366 Mhz or 2x609 = 1218 Mhz, if the motherboard wants to configure it that way.

 

SO you need a REGULAR DDR3  memory stick, not DDR3L .

 

I gave you a link to a DDR3 memory stick.

 

But like I said, you should double check if that laptop supports  8 GB memory sticks ... because if you do have to pay 3000 INR for a 4 GB stick, you may as well pay around 3200-3300 INR for a 8 GB DDR3L stick and have one slot empty for future upgrade, if you'll decide to.

Use Aida64 (download any version and use it in 30-day trial mode) or CPU-Z (freeware, but less information)  to find out  how many ram slots your laptop has, and how many sticks you already have installed in your laptop.

Your information is not enough to determine that.

 

For example, you say you have 4 GB of memory now, but do you have 2 memory sticks or just one?  Your laptop has either just one memory slot, or two memory slots - very rare for a laptop to have more than 2 slots.

So if you currently have  2 x 2 GB sticks for a total of 4 GB, you have to decide how you're gonna proceed.. either buy 2 sticks of 4 GB or a single 4 GB /  8 GB stick - you can combine a 2GB with a 4GB or 8GB but it's recommended to have 2 sticks of same size.

 

The two programs above will also tell you if you currently have DDR3L memory sticks, which run at 1.35v , or if you have regular DDR3 memory which runs at minimum 1.5v , and up to 1.65v

 

The processor, according to its specs, supports both DDR3 and DDR3L memory , so you need to figure these out first.

fine then you need a 2nd  4 GB stick.

 

You STILL need to figure out if it's regular DDR3, or if it's DDR3L which runs at lower voltage.  Use one of those applications to find information about your current 4 GB stick.

 

some suggestions that will work, though your budget is tight

 

DDR3L (1.35v) 1600 Mhz or better - only get these if your current memory also runs at 1.35v

 

Patriot Signature DDR3 4GB PC3-12800 1600MHz 1.35V CL11 SODIMM Memory PSD34G1600L81S: Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories

Amazon.in: Buy ADATA USA Premier 4G DDR3L 1600MHz PC3-12800 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 204-pin SO-DIMM Intel Laptop DDR3 1600 ADDS1600W4G11-S Online at Low Prices in India | A-DATA Reviews & Ratings

 

DDR3L 1866  (will also run at 1600)

 

4GB 1866MHZ DDR3L HYPERX IMPAC: Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories

 

Regular DDR3 1.5v 1600 Mhz :

The regular DDR3 is too expensive for 4 GB ... you're better off buying a single 8 GB DDR3L stick and taking out that 4 GB stick to sell or whatever :   Amazon.in: Buy Kingston 8GB PC3L 1600MHz Laptop RAM (KVR16LS118) Online at Low Prices in India | Kingston Reviews & Ratings

According to what I found your device support a max of 8GB of memory.

DDR3 PC3-12800 • CL=11 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1600 • 1.35V •

So here is the best option have for you;

Personally I buy Crucial but its up to you what you chose.

I tend to go with cheap ram for laptops, nothing special

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?
