I have an ASUS laptop K501UB and I want to upgrade to 12GB of memory. I currently have 8GB. I saw this memory on Amazon.ca (Samsung 8GB (PC3L-12800) DDR3L 1.35V 1600 204-Pin SoDimm Laptop Memory Module M471b1g73bh0-yk0) and want to know if it is compatible with my laptop. It seems the ASUS site is not very clear about what memory modules are compatible and UserBenchmark.com lists similar memory -> Hynix HMT451S6CFR6A-PB Samsung M471B5173EB0-YK0 8GB which I am not able to find in Canada.

I opened my laptop and the memory is PC3L-12800S. What does the "S" mean.
