Hello. Here in Amazon you can get them. They are any notebook memory DDR3L, which means DDR3 SODIMM 1.35 volts. You can use 1333 or 1600 MHz. That is all. I guess you can use 2 8GB modules, for 16GB total memory.

Not sure on yours, for memory I like to use crucial.com. When you go to their site they have a option to use their system scanner. When you use their scanner tool it will tell you how much memory you have installed, how many empty memory slots are available in the computer and then recommend some purchase options.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

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

It comes with 2GB, since there is only one memory slot it may be upgraded by replacing the original RAM with a 4GB module and it may be possible to use a 8GB instead.

Hi, you can check this article on how to upgrade RAM https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/41424/c/65,66/kw/how%20to%20upgrade%20RAM/session/L3RpbWUvMTQyMDY1NzQyNi9zaWQvRjJENTRUYm0%3D Thanks -Sean

It uses laptop form factor SO-DIMM RAM. It can be upgraded to 8GB, but you would have to removed the 4GB module and replace it with an 8GB. There is no second slot.

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.

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

Here is the RAM I purchased and installed: Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9)

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

Yes. I bought this model specifically because I didn't want to overpay for additional memory. I added this, right from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LDLV6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1; and it works fine. I think 8GB is the max, but you should confirm that. I did not pay attention to that because the laptop was for my grandson.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

The memory on this model is _not_ upgradeable, it is soldered in. If you want that much RAM, I strongly recommend the Lenovo X1 Carbon as an alternative - I do not recommend the touch screen on that model unless you really, really want touch - the screen is not as good on the touch model.

If you want to add any additional gb of memory, you can buy a any DDR3 SDRAM SO DIMM 204-pin Speed 1600 MHz ( PC3-12800 ) (for best performance). But remember you only have 2 slots available for easy access, so if you want to have 16gb in total you'll have to buy a 16 gb dual channel memory(8 gb in each slot), because you already have one 8gb dual channel memory (4gb in each slot). Now if you are willing to disassemble your laptop (at you own risk) you have 2 additional slots below the keyboard. Here is a video demonstrating how to do it www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=MP4myeDK-3U

Their is only one memory slot on the laptop, and the motherboard max is 12 GB of ram. So, theoretically yes you can, however i am not aware of any 12 GB single module ram sticks. I use this laptop daily, and the 8 GB that is in it works very well even with graphic intensive applications as well as games.

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.

Yes, but its not as easy as other notebooks. The memory isn't behind a flap as normal laptops, to change the memory you'll need to get to the other side of the motherboard, so you'll need to disconnect some flat cables and take off a bunch of screws. Besides, aparently this Also voids your warranty. So I myself wouldn't really recommend going through all this for a mere 4gb extra.
