According to this link that laptop comes standard with either 2GB or 4GB of ram and that the laptop supports up to 16GB of ram in 2 slots i.e. 2 x 8GB ram modules.
Search online for 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600MT/s Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM ram to find suppliers that suit you best.
Here's the hardware maintenance manual for the laptop.
Go to p.45 (p.49 of 124 pdf) to view the procedure to remove /replace the DIMM (dual inline memory module i.e. ram)

It sounds like your laptop could benefit from a few upgrades to improve its speed, especially when connected to the internet. Here are my recommendations:
- Upgrade the RAM: Your laptop might be slow because it doesn’t have enough memory (RAM) for modern tasks. Upgrading to at least 8 GB of RAM will help significantly, especially when browsing the internet and multitasking. I would upgrade to the max ammount of 16GB of RAM.
- Switch to an SSD: If you're still using a traditional hard drive (HDD), switching to an SSD (Solid State Drive) will make a huge difference. An SSD speeds up the boot time, program loading, and file access noticeably.
- You can search for "SSD 2.5 inch" including the Amount of Storage you need, I would recommend 500GB.
Additionally, make sure your antivirus software is up-to-date and not using too many resources in the background. You can also disable unnecessary programs from running at startup.
With these upgrades, your laptop should perform much faster and more efficiently!
