Can the memory be upgraded?

Yes, there's a TF Card (Micro SD) slot on the device, and it can use the big 32GB card.

Yes you can upgrade the memory. If I were to upgrade mine I would use Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 or CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9. The Acer Aspire V5 471P has 2 slots and a max total memory of 8GB.

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

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

It's very easy to upgrade. There is a plate on the bottom front of the laptop that has two screws on one end and then tabs on the other end where you can slip a small flat blade screwdriver on each of the three tabs and gently lift up. The two DIMM slots feed your new memory just like any other soDimm. I just checked to make sure. I already have two 4GB cards in mine, so I'm happy.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

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.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

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.

Yes it can. I upgraded with a stick of Kingston DDR3 for a total system memory of 8 gigs.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

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.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

you would need to get the mother board spec sheet to see if you can upgrade your memory first, and also what kind of memory slots you have available. Or, take out a memory sim and record the make, speed, and slot type to replace with the same speed and type just make sure it's more.
