I upgraded my ram to 2GB right after I got this MacBook, it is cheaper to upgrade by yourself, mine only cost $60 for 2GB ram. If you bought from mac, would be $150 more..It is also super EASY to install the ram anyway...I'm a girl, I did it very easily. I have been using the new ran for couple months and does not have any problems.

just purchase the Ram elsewhere and do it yourself. It's very easy to install. Amazon only sells the pre-configured units from apple.

Hi M Long,COuld I ask exacetly what you did to upgrade your ram yourself? I know that if we do upgrades ourself and break or damage anything, that could cause the warrenty for the lap top to be void by apple, so I just wanted to make sure I could do it or rather take the right stepthanksKenny

"I'm a girl..." Oh no she di'nt... :)Seriously, where did you buy 2gb ram for only $60??? My tech guy recommends crucial.com, but it's $106 there not including shipping. thanks, chickadee

IMHO, a safe and easy way to upgrade the RAM is to follow the approach of using a credit card in conjunction with a Philip's screwdriver, as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKSpW3q0GY Be aware that upgrading the RAM pretty much voids your warranty. That said, it was actually quite simple and I upgraded to 1.5GB. Tips: 1. Make sure there is plenty of light, and go slow and deliberate. You don't want to lose any screws inside the AA1. 2. Use two credit-cards instead of one when working on the keyboard. Use one credit card to push the tabs and with the other hand use a second credit card to get underneath the keyboard to push it up. (NOTE: DO NOT force anything!) 3. It is NOT necessary to disconnect the LCD display connector. You can get to the RAM socket underneath the motherboard after unscrewing the LAN card, motherboard and daughterboard.

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.

Can someone clarify the ram in this? It looks from reviews, like it needs 1333 ram (which is PC3-10600..correct?), however looks like it comes with 2x1gb ddr3 800 mhz ram...so which one is it? Will any 2x2gb PC3-10600 work?

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?

I found the information on the wrong memory I ordered. It is the same description as the one you are looking at with one exception; it is sold by a different company. Point out the error in the description to Amazon and they should give you a full refund including shipping. They did me. That is, if your computer is listed in the description.

See what type of RAM stick your computer has and match it to that. That is what I did when I upgraded to 2GB, also find out what is the maximum ram your computer can handle and upgrade it to that. Hope this helps you.

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.

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

If you want to upgrade from 4GB of Ram to 8GB of Ram make sure you purchase one DDR3L memory stick. If you do not get the chip with L at end of DDR3 it won't work. You only need one chip to upgrade, that's what I did. I now have 8GB of RAM/

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

You can send us a message with the specific upgrades you'd like, like how much more memory, storage requests, and any other requests. We can get you a price and list the configuration on Amazon for you to order.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

If you are interested in upgrading the RAM (always a good idea), why are you even considering this PC? In terms of it's upgrade potential, this PC is a white elephant.

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 :)
