The "Product Details" say 4GB ram, upgradeable to 8GB. The "Technical Details" say 8GB. Anybody now which one's right?

I wanted to take a moment and say that it is coming up on 3 weeks since I sent in my Acer computer to be replaced. To no avail, I have not received info that the replacement unit has been shipped or when I should expect to receive the unit. I am not happy with the shoddy way this is being handled.

Mine has 4GB installed from new. I assume the reference to 8GB is the maximum possible.

I would presume product details is what one might expect in this product and technical details is what yours has. Get speccy and it will tell you you products details.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

It comes with 8 GB of RAM. Not sure if you can upgrade it but for me 8 was enough. I hope that helps.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

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

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

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

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

I ordered the 4GB of ram directly from the Crucial website. I ordered what they recommended for the 1201N. I think they use different part numbers than Amazon uses.Can't say that I noticed that much of a difference; but to be fair I upgraded the memory soon after I got it.

8GB DDR3L SDRAM is correct, I will point this out to Amazon to have them update the tech specs.

Hi Deborah, the 8 chips are really not important, what is important is that the one you received is 2GB 1066MHz DDR3 Non-ECC SODIMM. Here is a link to someone doing the upgrade http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_FiUCfyiQw the one he is installing is 2GB and only 4 chips. Side note: as technology progresses memory manufactures are able to get more memory on a single chip; usually at a lower cost. The 8 chip version has 256MB per chip and the 4 chip version has 512MB per chip (or 256MiB and 512MiB to be technically correct).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233264That is the Corsair Vegeance DDR3 1600 SODIMM 8GB. I see alot of people upgrading to that.

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.

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.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks
