There is 8GB of RAM. The computer is solid it's just sometimes the scroll (two-finger scroll) on the mouse pad goes out randomly. And the battery life is not exceptional. Other than that its perfectly fine.

Here is the RAM I purchased and installed: Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9)

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.

I have not had the need to upgrade, but I know when I bought it there were options on how much RAM so I assume it can be upgraded after purchase. My experience is that unlike desktops, a laptop should be worked on by a professional unless you are really comfortable opening them up.

From my review: This laptop has a maximum memory of 8GB with 2 memory slots, one of which comes empty from factory, so I also purchased a 4GB memory upgrade for this laptop (approx $40). Product ordered was: Kingston 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 Laptop Memory Model KVR16S11/4; works great! It comes with 4 GB (1 slot), so just added another 4 GB (2nd slot); in product description, it states supports a maximum of 8 GB total. Hope that helps ...

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Not sure but I highly recommend this laptop. It's upgradable to 32 g of RAM. It's runned nice and smoothly since I bought it.

This laptop has 2 open ram slots and 8gb installed. In total it has four slots, two 4gb are currently installed. Two 4gb can be purchased and easily installed, just check YouTube.

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded.This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage:http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

It says max for this laptop is 8GB, but for the CPU it can support 32GB of Mem.There are two slots in the computer so I'd think you could install 16GB.I have this laptop, but don't have the memory to confirm. Would love to hear if anyone has 16GB in this computer to confirm.

This laptop has 12Gb ( 8Gb +4Gb ) on board. You may need to check with MSI if there are 2 empty memory slots under the keyboard ( we think there are not ).

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

4GB RAM as listed here, manual indicates it's replaceable (only one SODIMM slot) with 8GB RAM. Not a trivial replacement for end-users. To clarify other answers, storage is 128GB M.2 SATA, upgradeable to 512GB.

It accepts DDR3L 1066/1333MHz 1.35 volt SODIMM. Look for PC-10600 for the faster speed and PC-8500 for the slower speed. It's expandable up to 8GB of that type of RAM. Keep in mind that it has only a single RAM socket, so you won't be able to expand its RAM with more than one SODIMM at a time.

Well it has 6 gb ram but you can only use about 5.5 gb. I've had this laptop for over a year and it has handled everything I threw at it.
