Can the memory be upgraded from 4G to 8G?

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.

Yes, it can. 8GB is the maximum amount of RAM it can handle. It only has one (1) memory slot, so you have to buy an 8GB memory card to replace the 4GB card you currently have. This would work nicely. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-1600MHz-PC3-12800-KVR16LS11/dp/B00CQ35HBQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414690087&sr=8-1&keywords=8GB+DDR3-1600+low+voltage+%281.35V%29+SO-DIMM+Memory

I had to actually call Samsung to get the answer to this one... you can upgrade to a max of 8Gigs... and i highly recommend it.. it made quite the improvement for the price...~80$

Dear Customer, Greetings! 4GB onboard and extendable memory could be to 32GB. Thank you.

I added 4Gb to bring my total up to 8gb. Don't think it would accommodate 8gb stick.

The easiest way I've found is go to your search engine and type in the make and model of your device followed by memory upgrade instructions. You'll go to a host of instruction sites.

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.

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)

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.

I'm not sure because I bought it for my dad but I believe that it's 4gb but is upgradeable up to 8gb.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

I think "yes." I believe this is the model I ordered back when (it's not here at the moment for me to check), but I upgraded the memory. As I recall, though, it comes with 2 Gig hardwired in, and then a 2 Gig expansion memory card. To put new memory in you have to remove the existing expansion card. To upgrade you can only order 4 Gig or 8 Gig, and so the total (with the hardwired 2 Gig) winds up being either 6 Gig or 10 Gig.

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.

No, that would be a waste of money. I contacted Lenovo, and according to them, it supports 8GB max.

Yes, it is upgradeble up to 8GB. You can check more details over here under specifications tab: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K55A#specificationsMemory; DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM
