can I customize this laptop by adding RAM memory and downgrading to windows7 and possibly a SSD ?

You can add RAM as well as a SSD (given you have the proper drivers. However I would not reccomend downgrading to windows 7, as the computer was designed to run on windows 7 and the hardware/drivers may have compatibility issues with windows 7.

possible to add RAM, you can replace the hard drive with SSD and if really want to downgrade from win 8 to win 7 you can use this link: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/science_tech/making-windows-8-work-like-windows-7-vs-downgrading or search how to do it on internet (you need to follow some steps).

32GB assuming that you have windows 7 pro. Basic limits you on ram available.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

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

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

dw about it- yes it is, actually you can customize the keyboard from 1 to 3 different colors, with any color you want. excellent laptop overall !

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

Answering because all of the other answers sucked: This looks to be in the same linage as the 1015e. Assuming it's effectively the same, you can't add ram. Swapping the hdd to an ssd is possible but annoyingly difficult and will void your warranty (but it makes it _much_ more usable in my opinion).

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

Greetings, You will need to install system memory (DDR3 1333MHz+ SODIMM), an mSATA SSD and software in order to complete the unit. Best regards, MITXPC

Yes. Laptop comes with ONE 4 GB stick of DDR3 RAM and there is ONE available slot to add an additional 4 GB.

Some components (memory, disk, graphics) are easy to upgrade, the motherboard is replaceable, but is a customized version....

Yes, you can replace the battery. You just have to be good with a screwdriver (very tiny screws).And yes you can upgrade RAM fairly easily. But an important note here: Do NOT follow the steps as outlined by HP in their own document. Just take out the screws on the bottom plate. Read my review on this Laptop for more details.
