Can you change the ram of this thing? I want it to be 16 gb.

you need to check whether your Elite has two slots or one slot, if only one you must replace it with a 16gb ram.

Yes you can. After I purchased mine I took it to Microcenter a certified HP technician center and upgraded it.

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

Hi this has 4 ram slots and with windows 7 64bit you can install 16gb of ram. If you would like this upgrade call us at 844-889-1070 and make sure you look at us, Re-Circuit

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

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.

From what is says in the manual it should be able to use 16, but it would need to be 8 gb on each stick because it only has the normal 2 ram slots

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.

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.

Ues you can. Even though it says you NEED 8gb, dontale the mistake and buy 8- it wont work, uou havr to go to 16.

I'm going to say 16GB. It only has 2 RAM slots and 8GB sticks are the largest of what is commonly available. I have occasionally seen a few 16GB sticks, but I wouldn't count on it. So 2 slots @ 8GB = 16GB is my story, and I'm sticking to it.

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

All the other answers from customers say you can use 32GB but mine would not function with anything larger that 16gb.
