    I'm not sure I'd go 1866 with CL 11 over a 1600 CL 9 to be honest. The 1333 that ships with it is CL9 as well so the 1600 would be an upgrade but the 1866 would lose its gained performance simply because of the higher CL.

    To answer your question though, I think you'll want the plug and play one (the third one with the gray heat spreader), the first and second ones require use of XMP which our laptops dont support.

    Unfortunately I havent done it so dont quote me on this, but IceBlu used PnP memory and it worked for him, and I know for sure we cant used XMP profiles on our laptop, so with that information, I'd have to believe the third one is the right one.
