Can I expand the memory to 8GB by replacing the 4GB with 8GB?

Yes, my recently acquired refurbished Lenovo N585 now has 12 GB of RAM, and as far as I can tell it will accept 16 GB. Mine came with a single 4 GB stick and I added an 8 GB single beside it. It booted quicker!! By the way, this is my second Lenovo N585. The first one, now a year since purchase, Has 8 GB RAM and Windows 7 Home (x64). I cloned it to a 1 TB hybrid drive from SEAGATE. This laptop is as good as you can get for the money and has provided me with the pleasure of upgrading it myself. The second one purchased refurbished in early Feb 2015, has the 12 GB RAM mod and has been upgraded to Win 8.1 (update) No problems have been encountered with the hardware or software changes.

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

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.

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.

Unfortunately no. Your motherboard is rated at a maximum of only 2GB. You could try, but chances are your computer will not start or you'll be wasting 2 out of 4GB of memory. You CAN upgrade from the 1GB to 2GB that everyone has been doing, though, but be warned: The process on your particular model is a rather tricky one. It involves removing the back panel, your keyboard, and screws on the bottom and underneath the keyboard. You can find tutorials on how to do it, but I just want you to be fore-warned.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

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

Yes, you can install it but only if you replace it. Don't add-on memory. You can install up to 32GB memory in your new notebook.

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 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.

Mike,I have not upgraded mine but I believe it can be upgraded to 8GB. Here is a link to Crucial memory http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7D87E7DAA5CA7304Keith

It is my understanding that the GBs can be doubled. Meaning if your current factory installed memory is 2.0 GB you can add additional memory in increments of 2GBs.

Yes, but here's the deal - - if you already have 4GB and want to upgrade to 8GB, make sure both memory modules are the same (speed, legacy, etc) so they are sure to work well together and that you will benefit from the new ram. If you cannot find a mem module that is the same as the one currently installed, then it would be best to buy 2 x 4GB mods that are identical. I found the Hynix ram to be an excellent product.

It will probably be cheaper to buy the 4GB version and just upgrade it yourself.

Yes it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.
