Yes this notebook support 16 GB. But read at forums before buy a memory upgrade. Not all memory modules works fine for this notebook.Corsair Vengance CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 has issues

Some users from Notebook Review and GenTech confirm it can be expanded to 16GB. http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus/677457-asus-n56vz-16gb-ram-thread-4.html

it's a laptop with integrated graphics. no upgrade available. as a matter of fact, no laptop can upgrade a graphics card unless you are on a laptop worth several thousand dollars. what you *can* do is uninstall all the bloatware, streamline the msconfig to load only a few things, update the AMD drivers, and turn off Aero windows graphics to speed it up. I'm debating upgrading the ram to a faster ram and 8GB, but not sure it makes much difference. An overclocked ram set of 8GB would make the most difference. 8GB limit on this machine. For better graphics, look for an A8 or A10 AMD chip with a 7000G series APU or preferable dedicated GPU.

The laptop comes with 2x4Gb memory (2, 4GB sticks). You need to get 2x8GB. Search Amazon for just that, or Google the same.

As far as you can with two slots of laptop RAM. I was able to put 8GB in there and it improved performance a lot.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

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.

yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb. You can add another 2gb stick for about $20. Here's a good upgrade: Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B

Not Sure. You can go on Crucial's website and check eligible upgrades for your laptop.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

I do not know. Go to cnet.com and search for your laptop. It will give you the full specs for it. Look for maximum memory supported (mine was 16 gb) and how many total slots (mine is two). So I bought two. Go to Youtube.com and again search for your laptop plus "memory upgrade" (without the quotes). You should be able to find instructions on how to do the upgrade.

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.

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.

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

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

I say 'no'. This laptop needs DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-12800, or DDR3 PC3-14900

I do not believe the ram can be expanded. However Tha ram has not been an issue in my usage

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!
