Hello,
I have a G50-30 Laptop (Lenovo) (280G0)
Machine-type model: 80G0001URI
and I want to upgrade ram from 2GB to 8GB.
It has only 1 slot on motherboard and I am not sure if it supports 8GB.

Here is product overview from lenovo, but it confuses me and I want to be sure about compatibility before I buy.

Can you recommend which ram should i buy, considering cas and speed?
A link to a product, to a reliable and cheap uk store would be also appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The maximum supported ram per slot is 8GB of DDR3L spec ram. If you had two slots then the total would've been 16GB but to round up tot eh point, you can source pretty much any 8GB stick of ram operating at 1.35v rated between 1333MHz - 1600MHz frequency. Are you running off an Intel processor? What model? Should help narrow down the memory specific to your platform.
