Can you upgrade to 16gb RAM? I need to run virtual machines and some other pretty heavy software such as IBM DB2 Enterprise, etc...

The Ram in all the Yoga Ultrabooks is embedded and non-upgradable. 8GB is the max they offer on any model right now.

Sorry, haven't seen anything definitive about the capacity of the motherboard/chipset. To my knowledge, 8GB is the max you can order for a new one. Anything beyond that would involve the brave process of opening the thing up.

My machine has two 4GB chips, totaling 8GB. But the machine has 4 slots, so I could expand to 16GB without replacing the memory chips I have. In principle I could expand to 24GB by using 8GB chips. However, I use the machine for video editing, and I have a VM running Linux in addition, and I don't feel the need to expand, yet... Ronny

How much Ram do you have in your machine? What is the Processor speed. That would play a factor as well.

ram isnt expensive. installing is simple. im currently running 1gb ram and its fine for me. but with vista they reccomend 2gb of ram. it depends on what you plan on using the laptop for. if you plan on using it mainly for internet, word processing, and simple tasks then 1gb of ram is fine. if you plan on running many processes at once. (ie, music player, internet, word processing, and games) then i would reccommend 2gb of ram. makes your computer run a little faster

Yes, you can.The maximum RAM is 32GB (4x 8GB). make sure you buy DDR3L 1600Mhz sticks.and yeah, there's an empty 2.5 inch SATA slot in this laptop.

Unfortunately only 8GB Ram, what. Will also help in your computers performance upgrade your hard drive to a SSD Drive too. Hope this helps you.

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.

As far as I know you cannot add memory so it's limited, but I run 8.1 - a little slow at times ,could be other reasons. I bought mine a year ago, there may be better options now. Look around before buying.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

Not sure about the RAM, I'd have to check. Should be able to upgrade the OS though. It comes with Win8.1, and win 10 tech preview looks to be built from the same inner workings.

I upgraded mine to 32GB of RAM and installed a 1TB SSD Drive. It literally rips !!!!! They can keep all the new W8 PC's.

Get the 830D; use Win7 64 bit and try to get 4 gig ram... Runs fast and cool.
