Hey there,

Well it's pretty straight forward. You need to just get an 8gb SO-DIMM with 2666mhz speeds (anything over that would be a waste).

Laptops are a bit more forgiving in terms of ram, so mixing modules isn't that much of a hassle. Meaning you don't necessarily need to get the same brand. Just as long as they have the same speed and timings you should be good to go.

Something like this:
PCPartPicker Part List

Memory: PNY Performance 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19 Memory ($41.57 @ MemoryC)
Total: $41.57
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

Should work but no guarantee.
