how does one add or change memory on this? no door on bottom. does it require keyboard removal? if so, how?

If you remove all of the screws on the bottom, you can pop the bottom cover off easily. There are two DIMMs that contain a 2GB and 4GB chip. Swap out the memory, pop the bottom back on and screw everything back in place and you should be good to go.

You mean the keyboard doesn't work anymore? I have not had any problems with my unit and I'm very happy with it. If I had to complain it would be not being able to upgrade the 128GB RAM. Other than that I am extremely pleased. Good luck with your problem. Sorry I couldn't help.

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).

Is there a trick on getting the memory door open...i took out the screw...and the door will only slide 1/8 of an inch and I do not want to break it?

no key, they did god on window. But they mirroed in 64 bit, that failed, I had to change it back to the 32 bit it origanlly was. It still works fine. The mother board can only use 4 ram, even though it has 8 ram in it

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

Sorry, I haven't opened the case except for the battery. There is a large panel on the bottom side roughly under the touchpad area that could be unscrewed and might contain the ram slots.

Not a problem at all. The only problem is the keyboard dose not have a back space key?

No ram door is available.You have to take the machine apart to upgrade RAM.

The RAM is upgradeable... though definitely not "easily". To get the back cover off you have to remove 12 tiny recessed screws that are strongly secured by Loctite. When i tried removing the screws using a jeweler's screwdriver set, one screw simply would not come out. I tried and tried, googled and tried again with several tools, but finally decided the screw would have to be extracted or drilled out, possibly damaging the case and voiding the warranty. So I gave up and sent the RAM back. Your mileage may vary. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the laptop.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

IMHO, a safe and easy way to upgrade the RAM is to follow the approach of using a credit card in conjunction with a Philip's screwdriver, as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKSpW3q0GY Be aware that upgrading the RAM pretty much voids your warranty. That said, it was actually quite simple and I upgraded to 1.5GB. Tips: 1. Make sure there is plenty of light, and go slow and deliberate. You don't want to lose any screws inside the AA1. 2. Use two credit-cards instead of one when working on the keyboard. Use one credit card to push the tabs and with the other hand use a second credit card to get underneath the keyboard to push it up. (NOTE: DO NOT force anything!) 3. It is NOT necessary to disconnect the LCD display connector. You can get to the RAM socket underneath the motherboard after unscrewing the LAN card, motherboard and daughterboard.

No internal storage and the doors don't open sadly :( Not entirely sure about the internal storage, but as far as I've used it it doesn't. Someone correct me if I'm wrong :)

You can do it, but there are two memory slots. One is internal and requires removal of the keyboard - not as easy as usual. Max is 2GB combination of the two slots.

better answer after looking at the screw schematic, there's no easy way to upgrade the memory or storage. That's because the battery is hidden away inside the case, and there's no access panel for removing parts for repair or upgrade.

As far as I know you cannot add memory so it's limited, but I run 8.1 - a little slow at times ,could be other reasons. I bought mine a year ago, there may be better options now. Look around before buying.

I have never had to add any memory.have had tablet since Christmas 2013 and I have not had any problems.Sorry, I could not help.
