More RAM will be needed: Why not offer us a version with those higher capacities from the start and avoid the waste?

They are trying to keep the costs down by only having a single SKU for the product. Good to have an extra card on you when shooting, in case you fill one up, along with an additional battery...

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.

Seems it is not possible unfortunately, but since there is a good SSD(128Gb), you will face a good performance even with only 4Gb RAM, and I think you also can use a Super Speed USB Pen Drive as a ReadyBoost to extend cache...

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

You really dont need 16 gb of ram unless youre doing photo editing or something of that sorts ... but like previously stated it depends on what you want to build it for

No. If you install this RAM with out replacing your 4 GB, it will bottleneck.

If they'r enot going to jump straight to 150GB or more, why even bother? Solid-state memory has already exceeded 32GB and has MUCH better performance attributes, including durability, energy/battery life, and flexibility.I will hold out for either a 1TB version or 64GB flash disk (or 32GB Flash disk + CF card expansion capability). And forget it if they try to ram some proprietary codec down my throat!

Absolutely, give it few GB of ram and a proper mSata SSD, you're good to go.

Absolutely, I'm waiting for something with more ram on the main.You'll find when you start using it on a regular basis, I use mine everday. The storage is worth it. The SD card helps with photos and videos but there are a lot of programs that will not transfer to the SD card. 16GB isn't enough.

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.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

Adding ram to many ultrabooks is not possible because the chips are soldered to the motherboard. Check with ASUS directly to see if it is indeed possible. That being said you might very well see a nice improvement in performance.

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

This model can support up to 16GB. There are two RAM slots, one is occupied by 1x8GB leaving a second one open for upgrade.

Ram can be increased. But one does not need more than 8GB. Anything over that is just overkill. Hard drive can be increased but I would have a pro do it. I am more familiar with a desktop. Much easier to change out.

Hi Diane, Yes you can, pre installed RAM is 6GB, maximum RAM supported is 8GB. Thanks, PCrush
