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.

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded.This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage:http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

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.

Heather is correct - but almost always RAM has a standard. You have to buy the correct type, but it is not proprietary. To fully upgrade this computer's RAM, buy this: Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)

I don't think so. Mine has more ram and a solid state drive. Check out computer upgrade king to see what they can do

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.

The motherboard on this laptop can only support 8GB of ram at the max, I currently have 8GB in my laptop at this moment

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

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 haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.
