What ram is compatible with this device? It is 4gb (upgradable to 12) some tell me there are 2 ports, some say only 1. And how to install?

SODIMM DDR3 1600MHz. You need to take off the bottom cover to access the memory slots.

It has 2 slots for 204 pin DDR3L RAM. It supports 16GB of total memory, so I installed 2 8GB sticks on mine. Installation was a breeze and worked like a charm.

2GB, I upgraded mine by adding in a 8GB chip to make it 10GB. The second slot is kind of hard to get to but if you can you can upgrade it to 16GB

It has 2 ram slots. Make sure you get compatible ram though. It's not well listed.

There is only 1 DIMM slot and the RAM is 4GB, not sure if it is upgradable or not.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

This model can support up to 16GB. There are two RAM slots, one is occupied by 1x8GB leaving a second one open for upgrade.

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

Yes this will work. It will be downgraded to the slowest memory you have in your machine. You will have to install the slower memory in the first slots and the faster memory in the next slots. Otherwise you will only see the first slot memory. Their memory is good as I have 12 gig in various machine's for over 2 years now and no trouble. I highly recommend them.

Yo I own this comp, its expandable to 8gb ddr 3 ram. I tend to like kingston but im still a noob to such things

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

it has a max of 12gb and 1 slot according to crucials website. I believe the intergrated ram is 4gb, so an 8gb stick would max it out.

The maxiumum RAM that the motherboard can hold is 32GBs. Currently installed is 2x 4GB sticks. There are 4 total slots available with 2 currently in use.

Dear Customer, Greetings! 4GB onboard and extendable memory could be to 32GB. Thank you.

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

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
