As the previous answer said, yes but not easily. It's an ultrabook so things are pretty tightly packed in the case. I did it a few weeks ago to get dual-channel speeds (no idea why it's only 12GB out of the box) and to replace the mechanical drive with a SSD. I called MSI beforehand and they said it wouldn't void my warranty, but they (obviously) wouldn't cover any new parts installed.Here's a good guide: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/msi-gs60-ghost-pro-mini-review-and-upgrade-log.200251/

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.

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

It says max for this laptop is 8GB, but for the CPU it can support 32GB of Mem.There are two slots in the computer so I'd think you could install 16GB.I have this laptop, but don't have the memory to confirm. Would love to hear if anyone has 16GB in this computer to confirm.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

YES. This laptop has either an i5 or i7 INTEL 4th Generation CPU and the spec sheet for this computer states that it needs DDR3L memory. Therefore, this is the correct memory for your machine. Just be sure to install equivalent speed modules (which these are). According to the SPEC SHEET, your BIOS allows for up to 32 gig of RAM. This machine was originally configured with 8 gig of DDR3L 1600 Mhz. RAM as a single 8gig module and there's only 3 extra RAM module slots, so fully configured, this machine can take up to four 8 gig DDR3L modules.

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

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

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

Hi I'm not sure but normally you would need 2 8 gb of ram tis without adding anything outo get the 16, Most all laptops have only 2 slots for ram and you want to keep them Balanced. Now a days you can also use a lump drive or thumb drive to do this, I put a 64 gig thumb drive in and use it to boost my Ram.

No you cannot officially add RAM. There are some places that sell tools to take apart you MacBook, but I'd think about that. Buy the RAM you want installed don't try and add RAM on any Apple products

yes,but you need to add RAM. see my review on the 14th and i recommend avoiding this company.

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Yes. Laptop comes with ONE 4 GB stick of DDR3 RAM and there is ONE available slot to add an additional 4 GB.

YES and it performs much better with the additional memory. You HAVE TO be comfortable taking computer equipment apart to install the single RAM 2gb chip. The socket is on the bottom of the computer and you have to come at it from the top of the laptop through the keyboard. You have to take screws out, unsnap the case, disconnect the daughter board ribbon cable, and rock the entire motherboard up to access the 1gb chip. Take it out and replace with the 2gb chip. I did this on all 3 of the 1025c's I bought (2 white and 1 black). Easy if you are familiar in this area. I found the mem chips for about $9 ea.

the best thing I can say is look up the ram specks for your laptop. I had to return the ram cards because of wrong specs.
