can you add memory to this laptop. I constantly get warnings that there is a ram usage issue. It is running slow.

Unfortunately you can not add memory. I've had no problems with mine running slow and I've never got a warning. Sounds like you may have a Virus or something running in the back.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

Hey Kevin, as an owner of this laptop, you should know that 24 GB of ram is absolutely unnecessary. This monster of a machine processes things so fast that it doesn't need very much temporary memory space (aka ram). 8 is plenty with 12 or 16 being the max. Like I said, you don't need to worry about RAM. Also it is the best laptop I have ever owned.

Thanks for the news. One more thing, is it just me or is my computer running slower with my 2gb 667 ram as opposed to the 1gb 800 ram? It seems like it is.Thanks again.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

I run Windows7 and have not had a problem. As to if it will take more Ram ask Acer

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

The memory on this model is _not_ upgradeable, it is soldered in. If you want that much RAM, I strongly recommend the Lenovo X1 Carbon as an alternative - I do not recommend the touch screen on that model unless you really, really want touch - the screen is not as good on the touch model.

It says max for this laptop is 8GB, but for the CPU it can support 32GB of Mem.There are two slots in the computer so I'd think you could install 16GB.I have this laptop, but don't have the memory to confirm. Would love to hear if anyone has 16GB in this computer to confirm.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Hi M Long,COuld I ask exacetly what you did to upgrade your ram yourself? I know that if we do upgrades ourself and break or damage anything, that could cause the warrenty for the lap top to be void by apple, so I just wanted to make sure I could do it or rather take the right stepthanksKenny

I don't. But if you are serious, you probably want to upgrade to 16GB of RAM and replace the hard drive with SSD. Also find a way to cool down this laptop (with a serious cooling pad, not toy cooling pad), so this super powerful i7 CPU can overclock itself automatically to its full potential. (otherwise it will throttle itself preventing overheat, if you reach around 87 degree C)I can confirm 16 GB of RAM and SSD will work for this laptop. I am not sure 32 GB of RAM though. Will try next year when the RAM cost goes down. :DGood luck shopping.

Add more memory, you can play any games but it's meant more for business applications. Hope this helps .

RAM cannot be added on the model I bought. That's the one reason I returned mine. It was a very nice machine otherwise.

No, from what I read before purchasing, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. It's a great laptop, but honestly, if you NEED 8gigs, you should probably be looking into a different laptop anyway. I can't imagine anything you might use this laptop for anything that would require more ram given that the processor wouldn't really be suited best for those types of computer work.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.
