How many RAM slots does this laptop have?
It has 2 slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be changed.
What's the maximum RAM I can have?
20GB total - that's 4GB soldered plus up to 16GB in the upgradeable slot.
What type of RAM do I need?
DDR4 SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory sticks, not desktop sized).

As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM format and preferably 2666MHz, it should work fine. Don't get DDR3 or DDR5 - they won't fit.
