You have a different CPU, and it appears your box takes DDR4 memory. So this module won't work for you. It appears you need a DDR4-2400 SODIMM. Maybe something like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-19200-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B019FRDKWI/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=ddr4-2400+sodimm+4gb&qid=1557636657&s=gateway&sr=8-3
Both of our CPUs have dual-channel memory, so assuming Synology routed both channels, we're also doubling memory bandwidth as well as doubling capacity when we add that second DIMM.
A good lightweight and strong laptop in budget would be the Acer Swift 3
The swift 3 is a small light weight laptop that has lots of power especially if you upgrade the RAM by adding a cheap RAM in the extra slot
The i5, 8 GB 256 SSD version refurb is also at a similar price point Powerful Refurb
Detailed Review
Let's start with a relatively inexpensive business laptop and work down from there if price is an major issue. Click the following link to Lenovo's site for the ThinkPad Edge E Series laptops. You want to look at the 15.6" E595 and 14" E495 models. These laptops are currently on sale; a 30% discount. They are new model laptops with no reviews it seems. These laptops use AMD's Ryzen APUs (their terminology for a CPU with integrated graphics) as opposed to Intel's 8th generation Core series CPUs; the E590 and E490 laptops; which are a little more expensive.

​
Regardless if your co-worker wants the 14" or 15.6" version, the upgrades will be the same.
At this point the 15.6" E595 will cost $739 as configured which includes upgrading the RAM; that is after the discount. The laptop comes with a 1TB hard drive which should be plenty of storage. However, SSDs (Solid State Drives) are the preferred storage medium now. They have much faster read / write speeds which means a laptop will be more responsive. For example, my laptops with Windows 10 installed on a SSD can boot to the desktop within 20 seconds and that includes typing in my password. On the other hand, my old 2013 Dell laptop which only has a hard drive takes roughly 80 seconds to boot to the desktop.
The trade off with a SSD comes down to capacity and price. SSDs have decreased a lot in price, but they are still more expensive... and similar to the RAM, Lenovo does charge a premium for upgrading to a SSD. Businesses general mark up prices to cover cost and earn a profit. Removing the 1TB hard drive will automatically configure the laptop with a m.2 format (like a gum stick) 256GB SSD and increase the price to $832... so 1/4 the storage capacity but a $100 price increase.
​
==============================================
​
With regards to the RAM it is less expensive to purchase it and install it yourself. RAM is typically the easiest component to upgrade in a laptop. You can purchase a new stick of Crucial 4GB DDR4 RAM for as low as around $21 from resellers at Amazon, pick one that has good feedback. Lenovo charges $76 for the 4GB RAM upgrade; with the 30% discount that works out to $53. So purchasing and installing the RAM can shave off roughly $30 depending on which Amazon seller you buy the RAM from and lowers the overall price of the laptop to about $709 before taxes and shipping.

==================================================
​
Getting back the SSD... If your coworker prefers to have a SSD for a more responsive experience with the laptop, I recommend that it should be added to laptop after it is purchased rather than configure it the E595 or E495 with the m.2 256GB SSD.
Note that there are two different interfaces for the m.2 slot; the more common, less expensive and slower version (still a hell of a lot faster than a hard drive) is called SATA III. The other interface is PCIe NVME or simply PCIe and that is one these laptops have.
For $90, the highly rated Samsung 970 EVO 500GB SSD can be purchased. Do so will bring the total price of the laptop near the cost of configuring the laptop with a 256GB SSD at Lenovo's website which also removes the 1TB hard drive. Doing this way for nearly the same price, the laptop will have the 1TB hard drive and a 500GB SSD. Samsung also has propriety are software (only works with Samsung SSDs) that you can download which allows the operating system and any other data to be cloned to the SSD and is pretty much bulletproof. The only limitation is if all of the data to be cloned on the 1TB hard drive exceeds the capacity of the 500GB SSD, then the software will not allow you to proceed.

It depends a bit on how much you want to spend on the upgrade, but I would maybe get an extra [4 GB stick] (https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-19200-Unbuffered-260-Pin/dp/B019FRDKWI/) and a [128 GB SSD] (https://www.amazon.com/ADATA-SU800-M-2-128GB-ASU800NS38-128GT-C/dp/B01M9K0N8I/). Probably best if you check with Acer if they are compatible, and maybe there are better offers later on when you are ready to upgrade.
Of the two, the Asus will crush the other one by a wide margin, both for CPU and GPU tasks - the Intel HD 500 is so weak it's not even recognized by the benchmark websites I could find.
However, instead of those, I would recommend you look into these three here. If you can push your budget a very tiny bit more, I'd say go for the Vivobook in the middle - it'll outperform the other Vivobook in the screenshot you sent - in essence, it's the successor. On top of that, it also has a better GPU and twice the RAM.
If not, I'd go for the Acer (which beats the Lenovo in performance by a fair amount) while having an equivalent iGPU. The only thing with the Acer is that you will most likely have to upgrade the RAM yourself, which you can do and isn't too hard, and shouldn't cost too much (~30-40 Euros on the French Amazon for 4GB of DDR4 2400MHz RAM, not sure how expensive it will be in your country).
thanks, is this also compatible? (the one you linked isn't available for Prime). I don't really want to spend a lot on the laptop in general, it is just for college and watching streams, my current laptop has 6gb ram i3 and 500gb hdd, if i can get it to at minimum run like this i am satisfied. Is adding ram as simple as it seems, like, when i add it, do i have to do anything else, or does the computer recognize that more ram has been added? thank you!
Here's a YouTube video kinda showing how to do it
You wouldn't be replacing anything, since it'll come with an empty M.2 slot and an empty RAM slot, so it's just a matter of plugging them in. The trickier part will be moving your Windows 10 installation to the SSD so you can take advantage of the extra speed. There's a number of tutorials online already showing how to do this. You can then keep the HDD in there for document storage.
This is an example of an M.2 SSD you could buy. You could probably find a smaller one for cheaper if you're price sensitive. I'd buy this sooner rather than later to make moving your stuff to the new drive easier
This is the kind of RAM you would want to buy, although I'd say the SSD is more important. Get this whenever.
The Lenovo Thinkpad E570 is probably your best bet.

There's also this with a similar display: https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Dell-Inspiron-15-i5559-Signature-Edition-Laptop/productID.333089700 ($399 right now)

Get this, this will make your pc be able to handle it.
The second and third option looks the most appealing. I'm wondering about the difference between pci e ssd and sata 3 ssd, interms of my use of the laptop.
This Ram I was looking at was 32 dollars, however, I heard it will operate at a lower frequency, and the price difference for 4 vs 8 gb on their website was $40 for me. I'm going to just get 8gb then. So my options then are
definitely leaning towards the second option.
Are all of these pretty good or would you recommend one brand over the other two?
