Is the ram upgradeable.

Yes, it's just a bit odd, you remove the screws at the bottom, then you take off the keyboard, and the ram slot is there.

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded.This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage:http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

No chance of swapping the ram, that is soldered to the board. You can if you are extremely motivated change the SSD (NGFF, M.2), good luck finding one though, they are as of April 2014 only available to manufacturers...

Yes. However, the max memory is 2Gb -- four 512Mb Rambus RDRAM is recommended.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

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 it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

Buddy, Yes it can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 gb as per the maximum specifications. However, practically I haven't tried. To best of my judgement I think it will support as HP must have done the bench marking or tests with maximum amount of RAM it can squeeze in.

I don't think so. Mine has more ram and a solid state drive. Check out computer upgrade king to see what they can do

IMHO, a safe and easy way to upgrade the RAM is to follow the approach of using a credit card in conjunction with a Philip's screwdriver, as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKSpW3q0GY Be aware that upgrading the RAM pretty much voids your warranty. That said, it was actually quite simple and I upgraded to 1.5GB. Tips: 1. Make sure there is plenty of light, and go slow and deliberate. You don't want to lose any screws inside the AA1. 2. Use two credit-cards instead of one when working on the keyboard. Use one credit card to push the tabs and with the other hand use a second credit card to get underneath the keyboard to push it up. (NOTE: DO NOT force anything!) 3. It is NOT necessary to disconnect the LCD display connector. You can get to the RAM socket underneath the motherboard after unscrewing the LAN card, motherboard and daughterboard.

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

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Yes, ram upgrades are very easy. First, unplug the unit and flip it over. Pry off the four sticky rubber feet and unscrew the four philips screws underneath. Next, pry off the bottom. It helped me by screwing in the mounting standoffs into the VESA mounting points and using those to pull the bottom off. Then you just stick a new dimm into the slot and push it down.Here's a perfect upgrade to the chromebox, and its only about $20.Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B Yes, ram upgrades are very easy.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.
