No you can not upgrade the memory. The max memory for this laptop is 4G on board. http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Asus-Zenbook-Prime-UX31A.htmLook for "upgradable memory" in the article above.

You cannot upgrade memory her due to it is soldered into motherboard. Also, this particular model has a 128 gb SSD (very fast one), not HDD. Forums says you can upgrade it, but it has specific interface, so it is hard to find a compatible one.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

I really not sure about this, I haven't thought about this, but it is a good idea to try

You can buy it with either 4 or 8 GB but you cannot upgrade it later. The chips are hardwired to the main board.

I just opened mine to put 2x4GB SODIMMs into it ... nope. It is NOT user-upgradeable. Memory chips are soldered on. SSD is mSATA so in the future you could presumably upgrade it to 256GB, but the memory is not upgradeable in this at all. Live and learn.

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

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.

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

I also upgraded to 3 GB because I had some extra RAM that fit. I would like the full 4 GB, but 3 GB works well.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

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

Yes, this is possible: you can easily upgrade the HDD and increase the RAM in this computer

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.

I opened mine up to check. Hard drive and memory are upgradeable but CPU and graphics card are not. By the time the accessories that are needed to actually use this are available, this will be obsolete.

Yes, I upgraded mine. Just remember it's a memory hog so hopefully you don't have a 16GB device with little storage. I have a 32GB device.

yes upgraded hard drive to 500gb and upgraded ram to 4 gb runs just as good as my newer laptop

better answer after looking at the screw schematic, there's no easy way to upgrade the memory or storage. That's because the battery is hidden away inside the case, and there's no access panel for removing parts for repair or upgrade.

Mac mini RAM and HD can be upgraded. There is an access panel on the bottom for these upgrades. Even the latest model.

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.
