I have HP 15-af008AX laptop, it comes with in-built 4 GB RAM. It's very slow, I want to upgrade the RAM to 8GB. But I am getting confused with the physical dimension of the RAM. Some RAM lists physical dimension as - 7.3 x 3 x 0.2 cm whereas other one has a physical dimension of 17.78 x 1.12 x 12.7 cm.
Can someone please tell me how do I figure out which size should I buy?
Options: Samsung 8 GB RAM DDR3 Hynix

A web search showed, as the first item, your laptop's Product Specifications which show your memory is in a 4 GB DDR3L-1600 SDRAM module. Therefore, you want a larger capacity DDR3L-1600 SDRAM module.
Also, staying with the 5400 RPM SATA drive will also result in slowness. Using the instructions in your Hardware Manual to replace that with a solid state drive will also speed up the PC because Windows is very disk-dependent.

3Increasing the amount of system memory will NOT make your system faster. Product descriptions on Amazon are not curated by Amazon. At least one of those product dimensions are actually incorrect. – Ramhound – 2019-10-02T15:03:46.247

1You could measure your existing RAM card. – harrymc – 2019-10-02T15:42:31.713
