Does this version have the detachable bottom for replacing the ram?

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

No, actually i have with those memory, because The slot it´s different to normal DDR2. The slot is more closer to the center!

No, it's the thinner version. I put a couple small rubber feet on top of it to take up the extra space and keep it from rattling around in my Lenovo W510.

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...

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.

RAM replacement on most laptops only requires the removal of just a couple of small screws on the back of the laptops. Refer to your owners manual otherwise go to the Acer website and search there.

Looking through the user's manual at asus dot com, it does not appear to have replaceable memory, hard drive, or battery. By the pics in the manual, there is no access door to any of the internal components. It may be possible to remove the case entirely to get at those, but if so they do not advertise it.

I have no direct knowledge of this generation, but the previous generation series 9 13.3 inch was not upgradeable (ram soldered to MoBo) despite a tech support site claiming the opposite. The 15 inch did have removable ram. I'd look forward to seeing teardowns of this model before we will find out for sure.

Question: The bottom of my laptop doesn't say DDR2 or 3! It is a Toshiba NB505 but I got it in March so I'm thinking it is an older model of the 505?Anyone know if it's not on the sticker on the bottom how to tell?

I'm not sure if they have a version that does have this. However, I have this model and don't see one in the computer device manager.

Yes it does. The board has (4) DDR3 (DIMM) slots. You can use 1-8 gig unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DIMMS.

The ram compartment is the smaller panel marked ddr (the other is the hard disk). undo the screw. the panel is a bit difficult - you have to pry a bit - don't force. it comes off. Ram is fairly simple to insert. there are enough videos on the web...

No ram door is available.You have to take the machine apart to upgrade RAM.

The RAM is upgradeable... though definitely not "easily". To get the back cover off you have to remove 12 tiny recessed screws that are strongly secured by Loctite. When i tried removing the screws using a jeweler's screwdriver set, one screw simply would not come out. I tried and tried, googled and tried again with several tools, but finally decided the screw would have to be extracted or drilled out, possibly damaging the case and voiding the warranty. So I gave up and sent the RAM back. Your mileage may vary. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the laptop.

No is metal on the one I bought. Not sure on the Ram, you'd need to go to the manufacture's website and check there.
