I upgraded my ram to 2GB right after I got this MacBook, it is cheaper to upgrade by yourself, mine only cost $60 for 2GB ram. If you bought from mac, would be $150 more..It is also super EASY to install the ram anyway...I'm a girl, I did it very easily. I have been using the new ran for couple months and does not have any problems.

Amazon will refund you if the price drops in 30 days. Here is a webtool can help: http://nukeprice.com

just purchase the Ram elsewhere and do it yourself. It's very easy to install. Amazon only sells the pre-configured units from apple.

Hi M Long,COuld I ask exacetly what you did to upgrade your ram yourself? I know that if we do upgrades ourself and break or damage anything, that could cause the warrenty for the lap top to be void by apple, so I just wanted to make sure I could do it or rather take the right stepthanksKenny

"I'm a girl..." Oh no she di'nt... :)Seriously, where did you buy 2gb ram for only $60??? My tech guy recommends crucial.com, but it's $106 there not including shipping. thanks, chickadee

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

Yep, amazon only carries the generic versions. Dont think Bestbuy will do it either, I tried and they only carry the generic ones too. If you want 16gigs of ram you will have to order it from Apple.

Karen, you cannot add memory. You buy it as it is with 32 GB. Upgrade not possible, sorry.

My suggestion is do a search on your make and model on both the H-P website and Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). I invariably find what I need to know on Tom's site or the manufacturer's. I'm assuming you either have the machine's manual or have downloaded it in PDF format. It should definitely tell you all about your memory and upgrading the same. Hope this helps...

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

RAM cannot be added on the model I bought. That's the one reason I returned mine. It was a very nice machine otherwise.

Yes, you are missing thing - dual channel mode for the memory access. Just google for "Single memory vs dual channel". You may get in average 10-20% performance boost but if you decide to upgrade kit, you cant simply add new RAM, as both slots are used by kit.

DDR3-1600 MHz Amazon is as good a place as any for RAM. 2 slots, so 2 4GB memory cards will get you an 8GB machine.

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

I upgraded with no issues. I used this Kingston Value RAM from home depot, and it works great in my Gateway (I have the LT2032u - same as the LT2030u, but in Black).http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/469115/Kingston-KVR667D2-2GR-DDR2-Memory-Upgrade/However, the price is a bit high at the moment. I only paid $32 on sale, and it's back up to the regular price of $49.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default
