You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

I also upgraded to 3 GB because I had some extra RAM that fit. I would like the full 4 GB, but 3 GB works well.

Yes, I have the some computer and that was the first set up I had. However, when I replaced the 2 x 2 GB with 2x 4GB for a total of 16 it worked much smoother. When you have all the same size sticks it improves performance a little.

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easy You will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

This particular model is capable of 16GB maximum across 2 ram slots. The current configuration is 8GB in a 2 x 4GB configuration.

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!

According to crucial.com this computer upgraded to 8 GB of RAM. There are four memory slots on the motherboard.

I added 4Gb to bring my total up to 8gb. Don't think it would accommodate 8gb stick.

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.

My machine has two 4GB chips, totaling 8GB. But the machine has 4 slots, so I could expand to 16GB without replacing the memory chips I have. In principle I could expand to 24GB by using 8GB chips. However, I use the machine for video editing, and I have a VM running Linux in addition, and I don't feel the need to expand, yet... Ronny

I added another 4 gb to bring it to 8 gb. Before the upgrade laptop would crash when I opened too many windows. Since the upgrade, laptop has not crashed. It has an open slot to easily add the memory.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

Just as you did, I would check with Crucial at crucial.com and use their system analyzer to determine if this is a fit. That's what I did! I was able to use these and went from 2GB to 4GB and was extremely pleased with the increase of performance. In my opinion it's a great value for the gain in performance. I suspect if the specs are the same it will work.
