Can you expand the RAM on this ?

No you cannot. The surface (Non-pro) powers on a mobile SoC chip which unifies a CPU, GPU, and all other hardware components on a single platform. It is all soldered on together and the parts are not consumer upgradeable. Furthermore, even though the Pro model is powered by Intel Core i3/i5 like the desktops, it is also not consumer upgradable as well due to it's enclosed and compact design made possible through it's soldered hardware (think MacBook Air) Despite the ram size appearing insufficient, the windows surface (non-pro) is optimized to run extremely smooth and efficiently on the tablets

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.

Yes you should be able, depending on your processor and amount of RAM available

I'm pretty sure you can, haven't tried it but the ram in the laptop is more than enough to handle it

imI'm not sure if the memory is expandable, I refuse to purchase anything else for this item!

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

You sure can... up to 64 GB I believe. For me, the 16GB that comes with it are way enough :)

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

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

yes,but you need to add RAM. see my review on the 14th and i recommend avoiding this company.

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

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

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.

Ram is, assuming that the system can handle 16GB SODIMM memory, it comes with 2x8GB and these would have to be replaced with 16GB sticks. Similarly, storage can be expanded but only if you're OK with imaging and swapping a boot drive since there's only room for on internal drive. Access to both memory and storage requires you to remove the back cover of the screen which is straightforward. The system also comes with several USB3 ports, so adding external storage isn't a problem
