Can you upgrade to 8GB of RAM? Does it need it?

The memory is not upgradable as it is soldered to the motherboard. Personally I have run some games on high resolution settings and the gameplay has been excellent. Additionally, Windows 8 has been architected to be more efficient with the memory it uses so the higher memory requirements should not be an issue unless you plan on running Hyper-V or doing memory intensive type of computing.

You really dont need 16 gb of ram unless youre doing photo editing or something of that sorts ... but like previously stated it depends on what you want to build it for

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

I think you can go up to 8GB RAM before you are limited by the chipset on the board.

Down and dirty answer is yes. I'm running 12 GB of ram in my computer. Hope that helps.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

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.

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Mike,I have not upgraded mine but I believe it can be upgraded to 8GB. Here is a link to Crucial memory http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7D87E7DAA5CA7304Keith

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

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

Memory can be upgraded in increments of four or eight gig chips of RAM. I replaced the two four gig chips with four eight gig chips maxing it out with thirty two. Machine has four memory chip slots.
