Yes, ram upgrades are very easy. First, unplug the unit and flip it over. Pry off the four sticky rubber feet and unscrew the four philips screws underneath. Next, pry off the bottom. It helped me by screwing in the mounting standoffs into the VESA mounting points and using those to pull the bottom off. Then you just stick a new dimm into the slot and push it down.Here's a perfect upgrade to the chromebox, and its only about $20.Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B Yes, ram upgrades are very easy.

Yes it can be upgraded. In order for it to take laptop ram you'll need to do that with additional memory card.

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.

Yes, you are missing thing - dual channel mode for the memory access. Just google for "Single memory vs dual channel". You may get in average 10-20% performance boost but if you decide to upgrade kit, you cant simply add new RAM, as both slots are used by kit.

contact 'computer upgrade king' and inquire. I think they can make it with whatever you want in it.

yes- there are two slots for RAM- see youtube videos on how to access memory and replace it.... SD

Yes you can but the only downside is you'll be using only the 3gb of ram instead of the 6gb

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.

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.

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

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

Yes the ram can be changed. Th graphics can be changed but the card would take an expansion slot unless you purchase the pc without the integrated video card.

No. Go to asus web. I found it only have 2memory slots. Max memory is 16 gb. I was ready to order but I am looking for a better mobo for this price, also I can expand memory in future.
