This model currently has only 8 GB of memory...is there any way to upgrade it to AT LEAST 16 GB of memory?

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.

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.

it's a 16gb model, you can increase the memory by adding a microSD card up to 128gb, 1 year warranty!

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

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 be honest I'm to sure because the most attached memory I added was 8gb, and that it was only to transfer data. I only used up a little more than 180gbs. I would imagine that you could though.

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

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

It is my understanding that it is, indeed, upgradeable to 16GB; however, I returned this computer before even powering it up as it was damaged prior to packaging at the manufacturer. The replacement I got is wonderful and it, too, is upgradeable. Hope this helps!

if you mean the RAM, there is only 8G...at least that is for the model I have.

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

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. I've got the same model; I upgraded from 2gb to 8gb, and it's working beautifully.

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.

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

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

To increase the ram, you should seek a specialist to swap the memory .... As for the HD you can use an external hard ... good luck

There was an older model with the same model number that supported 8GB and newer version that supported 16GB. I was told when I called support that you could upgrade the firmware and they both would support 16GB
