Is it possible to increase RAM on it?

I have found no way to do that. I've searched the forums and no one has attempted this yet. You can upgrade the SSD, but need to get the cover off for that. At the same time, the stock RAM has been just fine for my enterprise computing needs. If you are looking for a hardcore gamer or CAD, then this isn't the machine for you.

Not that I know of. Heard the RAM module was soldered in. I have not verified it though. If you find out differently post it here.

Seems it is not possible unfortunately, but since there is a good SSD(128Gb), you will face a good performance even with only 4Gb RAM, and I think you also can use a Super Speed USB Pen Drive as a ReadyBoost to extend cache...

It's impossible. I guarantee you that, just like a phone, the RAM chips are soldered onto the tablet section of the computer. There is no RAM in the base, but you can upgrade the 7mm thick hard drive very easily; put a 1TB in or something. RAM though; no chance.

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

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.

maximum ram limit is 4gb, can't increase. there is another model S3-391-6497 which is upgradable.

Ram can be increased. But one does not need more than 8GB. Anything over that is just overkill.Hard drive can be increased but I would have a pro do it. I am more familiar with a desktop. Much easier to change out.

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

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.

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.

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.

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 can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

I do not believe the ram can be expanded. However Tha ram has not been an issue in my usage

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

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).

Doug, the answer is no, two different animals although both are referred to as memory in different circles. Sorry but it won't work to increase RAM size. It is used to store files & folders on.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.
