Is the ram expandable?

yes, but i do not know limits. check the website. the door on the back unscrews to allow upgrade.

Yes, but be very careful to match the SODIMM that's installed. I thought I could pick up a Kingston ValueRam 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 (which matches the specs in Lenovo's own datasheet) and slap it in there, but it wouldn't work. I ended up buying a Hynix 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz to match exactly what was pre-installed. I didn't expect it to be that fussy.

Yes, I installed 16 GB from Kingston. It states the max is 8 GB but it will take more.

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.

Yes, you can.The maximum RAM is 32GB (4x 8GB). make sure you buy DDR3L 1600Mhz sticks.and yeah, there's an empty 2.5 inch SATA slot in this laptop.

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.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

Yes it can. I upgraded with a stick of Kingston DDR3 for a total system memory of 8 gigs.

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

Yes has four RAM slots total and two hdd slots total leaving room for expansion. Can go up to 32gb I believe. Better investment would be an ssd though . . .

Doesn't appear to be, but it seems that other people [in their answers to questions like this] on the Amazon page have upgraded with RAM similar to this. I can't recommend that you purchase it though for the fact that it may not fill in properly [it seems like they're two different types of RAM to me]. I also can't recommend that you buy the ASUS A53Z-AS61, because for the same price you could get a much better laptop. Try to find a newer one in the same price range.

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.

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

Hello, The maximum ram memory can extend up to 16 GB as per Intel Core i7-4500U Processor. Thank You, Krish/DEC Trader

No unfortunately I tried to install the ram on a similar model and it did not fit in the ram space so I recommend that you just find a different kind its not worth the trouble

Yes it is expandable. There's an access port on the underside of the laptop, as you would expect. There're 2 4Gb sticks in it factory. (I've thrown 2 8Gbs in, but I've seen no performance increase aside from Video editing)

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.

It is upgradable and I am not sure as to how much ram it can take. I purchased it for my son and he loves it. He is an electronics major and he takes it everywhere he goes and uses it for school.

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.
