The memory is for apple devices, so that won't work.
It really depends whether or not the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard and whether a slot is free on the laptop, which it appears there is based on videos and reviews.
Since there is only 32 bit windows, it will only get use out of 4GB of RAM, meaning you will only be able to upgrade by adding another 2GB module.
It uses DDR3 SDRAM, and has an empty slot according to specs. Said RAM runs at 1600MHz.
Get this and just add it into the empty slot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239850

"but only one is occupied, so obviously 1 4gb card."
It has a 2GB RAM Module, it is not called a card.
It comes specced with a single 2GB stick of RAM and an empty slot. Just because 1 slot is occupied it does not mean it has 4GB of RAM.
It has 1x2GB of RAM.
32 bit windows does not support more than 4GB of RAM, so therefore the motherboard would not allow you to put in more than 4GB, hence why there is only 2GB in there to begin with.
Get the stick I mentioned above and put it in the laptop.
Here is the official specs to prove my point:
RAM
Memory Speed 1600 MHz
Memory Specification Compliance PC3-12800
Configuration Features 1 x 2 GB
Technology DDR3 SDRAM
Installed Size 2 GB
