Can the ram be upgraded to 8 gb?

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 believe you can. However, there is only one slot of ram and it is occupied with the 4GB dim so you can only replace it with a 8GB dim and that is the most this computer accepts.

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

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.

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

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

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.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

I don't think so. Mine has more ram and a solid state drive. Check out computer upgrade king to see what they can do

The motherboard on this laptop can only support 8GB of ram at the max, I currently have 8GB in my laptop at this moment

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

Yes. You could install 8gb. We will charge an additional $50 for the upgrade.

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).
