Hi,
Yes, you can upgrade it with the DDR3L model. It will work normally just like your current DDR3 RAM. DDR3L is compatible with DDR3 slots by design and supports dual-voltages at 1.5V and 1.35V.
If your PC was DDR3L built-in for example, then inserting a DDR3 RAM isn't possible, because it only provides a single voltage at 1.5V, so the PC won't be able to boot.

There is only one 8GB DDR3 (not DD3L) RAM stick available online here right now. It has PC3L-12800S as opposed to the original PC3-12800S that came with my Toshiba Satellite C850-B883 laptop.
If I use that (PC3L-12800S) to upgrade my laptop, what effect, positive or negative, would it have on the laptop's performance?
PC3 versus PC3L.

Would the laptop's performance slow down a bit if I used DDR3L? Or would there be no difference?

The performance should remain the same. Just make sure the DDR3L RAM is having the same frequency (MHz) as the current one.
