it is advisable to add the RAM with same Make and Model. Also you'll need to find out if the 4GB came with a 2X2 GB that occupied 2 slots then you would have to replace with a 4X4 GB to make 8GB total.

For compatitible RAM, you can look up from DELL for your Model.

I'm late to this thread, but I used to work the Dell forums and we always recommended Crucial memory for non Dell branded memory. Crucial guarantees their memory to work in a Dell. Dell's have a history of compatibility issues with some non-Dell brands.

I can't find that laptop on the Dell website. The closest I can find is a Dell Inspiron 15 3542 which is only available with either an i3 or an i5 processor, no i7.

I personally would be wary of buying a Dell branded computer that isn't available from Dell.

The reason you cannot find it is probably means that they don't sell their.

Here: Even Flipkart sells it. It's no mystery. Dell Inspiron 15 3542 Notebook (4th Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8.1/ 2GB Graph) Rs.58990 Price in India - Buy Dell Inspiron 15 3542 Notebook (4th Gen Ci7/ 8GB/ 1TB/ Win8.1/ 2GB Graph) SIlver Online - Dell : Flipkart.com

Guys, i looked all over the internet and i want this laptop: Dell Inspiron 3542 Core I7 4th GEN Laptop 4GB RAM 500GB HDD 15 6" HD Display | eBay it has everything i need and for the a very reasonable price too.

Please just find a compatible RAM for it. Would really appreciate it.

Just had another quick question. Which Graphic card is better: nVidia GeForce 840M (2GB GDDR3) or NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M ??? Which one? I assume the 720M is old and 840M is better.
