Hello everyone,
I have Thinkpad E450 (i5-5200U, 4GB RAM, HD5500, HDD) and I was thinking about upgrading RAM to 16GB (2x8GB). Could you please give me some tips, which one shoud I buy?

So far, I have these candidates:
- 2x Kingston Value (8GB) DDR3 1600 CL11 SODIMM (product number KVR16LS11/8)
or
- Kingston HyperX Impact Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 CL9 SODIMM (product number HX316LS9IBK2/16)

Do you have some recommendations?
Thanks in advance!

Go to www.crucial.com, plug in your model, see what RAM comes up. If you get RAM that is not listed as fully compatible, it may not work. OEM systems, especially laptops, can be picky as to what RAM they work with. If you get the modules from Crucial, or another site that you search and find your model at, they would be guaranteed to work and you can easily return them if they don't.
