I'm looking to upgrade the RAM in my Dell Vostro 3501, which currently has 4GB. Can anyone tell me what type of RAM I need for this model and what the maximum upgrade capacity is? Also, is it easy to install new RAM by myself?

I looked up the specs online, and it confirms your laptop uses DDR4-2666 SODIMM RAM. It’s got two slots, so you can upgrade it easily. A lot of users say that installing RAM is pretty straightforward—typically, the hardest part is just getting the casing open.
You can check out Crucial.com and use their tool to find out what type of RAM your computer needs—super helpful! For your Vostro 3501, you’ll be looking for DDR4 2666 SODIMM RAM, which fits perfectly. It's also likely you have two slots available to upgrade.
Many RAM sellers, like Micron and Kahlon, can help you find out what you need for your specific model. Honestly, RAM is quite affordable, and I’d recommend maxing it out. Before you buy, just pop the lid off and check the current RAM and any empty slots to make sure everything lines up.
