This laptop can have the memory upgraded to a total of 8 GB. You can get it at Crucial.com http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/Presario+CQ58+Series/Presario+CQ58-bf9WM-upgrades.html

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

It uses laptop form factor SO-DIMM RAM. It can be upgraded to 8GB, but you would have to removed the 4GB module and replace it with an 8GB. There is no second slot.

Yes you can upgrade the memory. If I were to upgrade mine I would use Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 or CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9. The Acer Aspire V5 471P has 2 slots and a max total memory of 8GB.

Hello, The maximum ram memory can extend up to 16 GB as per Intel Core i7-4500U Processor. Thank You, Krish/DEC Trader

I can confirm that the machine can upgrade to 8GB. The OS is running 64bit so you may want to upgrade to 8gb. Replacing the RAM requires a near full teardown of the machine. See chrome://system under meminfo for more info. The SSD is soldered on the board and cannot be upgraded with consumer parts.

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Yes, but its not as easy as other notebooks. The memory isn't behind a flap as normal laptops, to change the memory you'll need to get to the other side of the motherboard, so you'll need to disconnect some flat cables and take off a bunch of screws. Besides, aparently this Also voids your warranty. So I myself wouldn't really recommend going through all this for a mere 4gb extra.

Check out this link: http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=3532440&isFromTOC;Link=false Your laptop will support 16 GB of RAM, PC3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz is recommended. Doubling your RAM will increase the speed of your laptop and is probably the best "bang-for-your-buck" upgrade that you can do on a laptop short of buying a new one

Not sure but I highly recommend this laptop. It's upgradable to 32 g of RAM. It's runned nice and smoothly since I bought it.

No you cannot. It is very rare to find any laptop that can be upgraded in terms of processor and/or graphics card. Only desktops have that privilege.

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?

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded. This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage: http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

Their is only one memory slot on the laptop, and the motherboard max is 12 GB of ram. So, theoretically yes you can, however i am not aware of any 12 GB single module ram sticks. I use this laptop daily, and the 8 GB that is in it works very well even with graphic intensive applications as well as games.
