Is it possible to upgrade the RAM easily?

Don't know as I sent the computer back for a refund. The computer was advertised that it had a DVD R/RW drive and it did not come with one

Looking through the user's manual at asus dot com, it does not appear to have replaceable memory, hard drive, or battery. By the pics in the manual, there is no access door to any of the internal components. It may be possible to remove the case entirely to get at those, but if so they do not advertise it.

Yes, but get low-profile RAM and a case with a cutout for the CPU backplate.

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.

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.

Yes, you can.The maximum RAM is 32GB (4x 8GB). make sure you buy DDR3L 1600Mhz sticks.and yeah, there's an empty 2.5 inch SATA slot in this laptop.

I believe you can. However, there is only one slot of ram and it is occupied with the 4GB dim so you can only replace it with a 8GB dim and that is the most this computer accepts.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

I do not believe the ram can be expanded. However Tha ram has not been an issue in my usage

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

No, the RAM is soldered to the logic board in all of those models. You would have to upgrade the whole logic board.

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.

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

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Hello Yen, Yes, you can upgrade it. However, the two RAM slots on the computer are filled with the original memory cards (two 512KB PC 5300 SO-DIMM). To upgrade it to 2GB, you have to remove the two original RAM cards and replace them with two 1GB cards. So, the cost to upgrade this computer includes (or can be offset by selling) the two original cards. I checked DealNews.com and they show this type of card selling at US$66 each and up. Note that if you buy the computer preconfigured with 2GB RAM directly from Apple that you will be charged an additional US$175. (This would include installation, but you would not have the two RAM cards to sell.) Hope this helps.

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.
