Is it possible to add more ram or upgrade to have 8 GB ram? If so how?

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

Additional memory chips are available. I have not increased mine. It wirks great because of the solid state memory disc.

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

Sorry for not having the answer. I haven't added more RAM, but I need to do it. I will check it soon and I will let you know.

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

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

I also upgraded to 3 GB because I had some extra RAM that fit. I would like the full 4 GB, but 3 GB works well.

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

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

It can take 8GB total..4GB per slot...Must Use a 64-bit operating system to see the full 8GB of ram.. Be sure you have a compatible CPU..it only takes 65 watt processors...Good Luck!!

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?

On the bottom edge of the monitor, between the speakers, there is a panel held in with a screw. Under this panel are two slots for Ram. You can upgrade it up to 16 GB max. It takes about 15 minutes. I bought mine here on Amazon. If you have the new version that came out in 2013 with the thinner monitor and no hard drive, then you have to take the monitor apart.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

The 4GB RAM is on one module, there are two slots so max upgrade is 2 x 8GB for 16GB or buy an extra 4GB to make 8GB.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

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 you can do that its pretty simple . all you need to find out your ram model . that you can call to customer care and asked them .then by online same memory and install it.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.
