The ram can't be upgraded but that isn't a problem for me. The small hard drive was more of an issue but I solved that with a 32 GB card for large files.

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

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

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

I think you can go up to 8GB RAM before you are limited by the chipset on the board.

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.

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

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 do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

Hello Yen, Yes, you can upgrade it. However, the two RAM slots on the computer are filled with the original memory cards (two 512KB PC 5300 SO-DIMM). To upgrade it to 2GB, you have to remove the two original RAM cards and replace them with two 1GB cards. So, the cost to upgrade this computer includes (or can be offset by selling) the two original cards. I checked DealNews.com and they show this type of card selling at US$66 each and up. Note that if you buy the computer preconfigured with 2GB RAM directly from Apple that you will be charged an additional US$175. (This would include installation, but you would not have the two RAM cards to sell.) Hope this helps.

Yes but you might lose warranty and if the OS installed is not 64 bit, you wont be able to see the difference after 4gb of RAM

Yes, I upgraded mine with Corsair's Vengeance 8GB kit. The drawback is that your original is to be taken out. You can however get just one 4GB stick and upgrade it, but it is always better to have a matching RAM.

Yes, but here's the deal - - if you already have 4GB and want to upgrade to 8GB, make sure both memory modules are the same (speed, legacy, etc) so they are sure to work well together and that you will benefit from the new ram. If you cannot find a mem module that is the same as the one currently installed, then it would be best to buy 2 x 4GB mods that are identical. I found the Hynix ram to be an excellent product.
