The laptop manufacturers website would be the first place to look. Second, look at some RAM manufacturers website. Corsair has a section that allows you to put in laptop brand, model, and build, then recommends you a selection of RAM that would meet your needs. Why don't you post all the info you have about your laptop here so we can assist you better? Welcome to OCN.

Laptop RAM has almost as many flavors as desktop RAM but the physical size is SO-DIMM (Small Outline-DIMM).

Go to some manfgs website, like Kingston and find a match for each machine.

Here is Corsair's website: Link At the bottom of the page you will find a guide for finding Ram just like the one for Kingston Old Hippie post. A lot of RAM manufactures will have this.
