Here's my advice. Go to crucial.com and download the memory upgrade adviser. It will tell you exactly what kind of memory you currently have and what configurations and types of memory are compatible with your laptop. You don't have to upgrade with Crucial memory. Just about any manufactured memory will serve as long as it is of the same type.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

Hi Dean, as far as I know, this Ultrabook is limited to 4 gb. RAM. But anyway you can go to ACER website and check in a chat with support. They for sure will confirm you. To get the chat, you need at least a Serial Number for an Acer Laptop

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

This is an older model laptop. While still a great computer capable of gaming on the go, it has been discontinued by Alienware. Several sellers here have already upgraded the ram to 8gb but if you purchase one that does not have it upgraded, you would need to purchase 2x4gb sticks of DDR3 1066 ram. It is an easy upgrade, you just remove the screws on the bottom panel and once removed, replace the existing sticks with the new ones. Just be warned of the additional cost of having to purchase the ram. It may be more beneficial to buy one from a seller that has already performed the upgrade.

Yes. I bought this model specifically because I didn't want to overpay for additional memory. I added this, right from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LDLV6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1; and it works fine. I think 8GB is the max, but you should confirm that. I did not pay attention to that because the laptop was for my grandson.

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.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

Yes, you can. The specification for this model is "up to 32GB" of RAM. However, the standard 8GB that it comes with it located in a "hard-to-reach" area of the computer beneath the keyboard that "only Toshiba techs" can access. The more accessible second bay is where the standard user could insert more RAM to upgrade it. Essentially, the user can upgrade the RAM to 24GB (two 8GB sticks in the second bay + the 8GB the laptop comes with), but--if you buy it from Toshiba (or take it to the Geek Squad)--the user can upgrade to 32GB. There are instructions for accessing the first RAM bay but, I'm told, it's a cumbersome process and not worth the time...you may find that it is. Yes, you can.

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.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (F3-1600C9S-8GRSL) ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

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.

Hi PaulAccording to research, you computer uses DDR1 memory. This product is DDR2 memory. You could check the DDR1 memory for sale on amazon and find out if it is compatible with your laptop. I hope this helps!Regards,Daryl

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

Yes! you have 2 slots for memory on your laptop and this is the right memory if you want to upgrade your ram to 8GB and that would be the max...
