RAM Can anyone confirm that you can add to the RAM on the 1025C?

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

My 1025C came with the 6 cell battery, and without a removable door for accessing the RAM slot. It did, however, have molex connected RAM that I could access once I disassembled the case of the netbook compeltely. That is, the RAM was hard to get to because I had to take the computer apart, but once I had access to it, I did not need to do any soldering as the RAM board was connected to the rest of the computer by a connector that allows for removal and replacement of the RAM. So, at least one sub-model of the 1025C with the 6 cell battery has RAM that is not soldered onto the motherboard and can not be accessed through an easilt removable door/hatch.

Well the 1025CE has no opening on the back and the RAM is soldered to the motherboard so RAM upgradeing is not possible, but the 1025C has an opening like previous versions so I believe upgrading is possible, though I'm not 100% sure...

Please don't post that answer unless you have bought one, because I am waiting on my 1025C to come in now and I have read posts that said that is false information. I will post for sure when I recieve mine on about the 16th to 18th of March, but I am returning it if there is no port. They better give me a full refund as well. All show case models had them.

Answering because all of the other answers sucked: This looks to be in the same linage as the 1015e. Assuming it's effectively the same, you can't add ram. Swapping the hdd to an ssd is possible but annoyingly difficult and will void your warranty (but it makes it _much_ more usable in my opinion).

Yes it's expandable only up to 12 GB. It comes with two slots - a slot with 4 GB soldered into the motherboard and a slot with 2 GB that can be removed. I ended up removing that 2 GB RAM and putting in a Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM ($72 on Amazon Warehouse Deals) chip in it. Works great. The original 2 GB chip was ADATA brand. As long as the speeds match, then there should be no problem mixing RAM of different capacity/size.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

i went to http://www.crucial.com/?gclid=CNTB7fq-1bgCFUQ6Qgod5ncA-A&cpe;=pd_google_us&ef;_id=UecVxwAAAEpMSugH:20130729195950:s it checks what you can add to your computer with a program, i found my RAM on amazon for less and got it there.

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

no you can't, this mini have ram sold integrated, dont have slots SODIMM inside to expand memory as tipical laptops!!!!

yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb. You can add another 2gb stick for about $20. Here's a good upgrade: Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B

The ram can be updated to 4GB but only if you take it to a service center as the ram is soldered onto the motherboard

Support for DDR3 1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules. Support for non-ECC memory modules (The 12800 is non-ecc so yes). Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

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.

No you cannot officially add RAM. There are some places that sell tools to take apart you MacBook, but I'd think about that. Buy the RAM you want installed don't try and add RAM on any Apple products

Hello, no, you have to add the CPU. Check the Gigabyte web page for MB specifications. This model uses AMD processors

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.

yes, just make sure to check the compatibility list for your ram, the booklet included is outdated.
