Does anyone have any info on whether this laptop is expandable to 16gb of RAM or not

I would have to agree with sam. I hated it from the first week I had it. Wish a thousand times I would have gotten a dell instead.

To actually answer your question, yes. I have 16GB in mine. It'll take two 8GB modules.

Yes, it is expandable to 32GB, there is a (ASUS G750JX 17.3" i7-4700HQ 2.40GHz 32GB) computer on the amazon's web site

It is my understanding that it is, indeed, upgradeable to 16GB; however, I returned this computer before even powering it up as it was damaged prior to packaging at the manufacturer. The replacement I got is wonderful and it, too, is upgradeable. Hope this helps!

Comes with 4GB of RAM. But I easily upgraded to its maximum of 8GB RAM. But note this: it uses laptop-type of RAM.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

Hi Dean, as far as I know, this Ultrabook is limited to 4 gb. RAM. But anyway you can go to ACER website and check in a chat with support. They for sure will confirm you. To get the chat, you need at least a Serial Number for an Acer Laptop

Even though I do not own one of those laptops, (Bought one for a friend out of the USA) I can tell you that they do not take more than the 4 Gigs of RAM in them... Most laptops come with the max. amount of RAM memory they can take... That is the main reason I do not own one...My PC has 24 Gigs of Ram

There are four ram slots. You are able to use the existing ram on the laptop already and buy two more to make it 32gb.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

It is upgradable and I am not sure as to how much ram it can take. I purchased it for my son and he loves it. He is an electronics major and he takes it everywhere he goes and uses it for school.

Hi Dan, I think I answered this question elsewhere, but the laptop should support 16GB. I have the earlier version of this laptop (V5-171-6422) and upgraded it to 16GB with no issues. The Intel CPU specification declares support up to 32GB, but 16GB is the maximum for this device since there are only two memory slots. If there is a limitation of 8GB, it's either the OS (I'm running Linux), marketing, or deliberate neutering of the hardware (not sure why). --JT Review

Its is upgradable to 8.1. That's what Im using right now as I type. It will take up to 16GB of Ram at 1600Mhz. Ive never looked at the battery upgrade. Mine will run hard for a couple of hours on the stock battery or will get to the 6 hour mark surfing the net etc. You'll get about 3 -5 hours of Netflix or movie watching. You cannot upgrade the motherboard without MAJOR modifications.

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.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C) I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :D Good luck shopping.

I have been researching laptops for a few weeks, with intent to purchase. The Lenovo site groups this model in with gaming. If you can upgrade the ram, it should be a commendable all-purpose/gaming machine.

Well it has 6 gb ram but you can only use about 5.5 gb. I've had this laptop for over a year and it has handled everything I threw at it.
