Hello I am looking in getting new ram for my laptop. I have been trying to get as much information as possible. I have looked into G.SKILL Ripjaws Series Model F3-1600C9D and CORSAIR Vengeance Performance Model CMSX16GX3M2B1600C9, however I would like to also make sure that they are compatible with my computer. I have a SK Hynix HMT351S6EFR8A-PB 4 GB DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM (11-11-11-28 @ 800 MHz) (X2 Total 8GB) with Motherboard Chipset Intel Lynx Point HM87, Intel Haswell and Intel Core i7-4702MQ CPU. Do you guys know if the hardware can suppport the 1866 or the DDR4 (more then likely no but not sure since still trying to learn more on computer systems). or is there a better option that i am not aware of. I do both some gaming and also editing of photos and videos. Not sure what other information is needed.

Outside of your system's specs which you've provided properly, you've forgotten to include the make and model of your laptop. Can you please include it? Often times manufacturers of laptops can cripple the maximum ram limit in favor of stability with the aid of a BIOS update or through microcode. Dell has a couple of units that on paper should support 16GB of DDR3 1600MHz rams but in reality were seen to support a maximum of 8GB's of DDR3 ram.

About ram support you're limited to DDR3L 1600MHz kits per your processors IMC support. If you want DDR4 support you're going to have to jump to another platform. The ram slot will physically not accept DDR4 rams.
