Can the 4gb of RAM be increased, and will this significantly increase the speed of the computer? Does this cost a lot to do? Thank you.

about $40. Easy to install. Marginal improvements in speed depending on your usage. Dollar for dollar, an SSD is the best upgrade you can do.

it's a laptop with integrated graphics. no upgrade available. as a matter of fact, no laptop can upgrade a graphics card unless you are on a laptop worth several thousand dollars. what you *can* do is uninstall all the bloatware, streamline the msconfig to load only a few things, update the AMD drivers, and turn off Aero windows graphics to speed it up. I'm debating upgrading the ram to a faster ram and 8GB, but not sure it makes much difference. An overclocked ram set of 8GB would make the most difference. 8GB limit on this machine. For better graphics, look for an A8 or A10 AMD chip with a 7000G series APU or preferable dedicated GPU.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

You can increase the ram from 2 to 4gb. This is best done by a professional, as the slot is under the motherboard at the bottom of the case, and you need special tools to unclip the case. You probably could also increase the size of the HD, but it isn't really necessary...everything is stored on the cloud and it comes with 100gb of space in google's cloud service (for 2 years I think). I know you can download certain programs for offline use, but apart from word processing and a few simple games, you can't really use chrome OS much off if the Internet.

Check the specifications for your PC - especially the capacity of RAM for that specific motherboard. I suspect it will be 4GB max, much faster than what you have now. If there are four bays, you can try and add the two stick and see what the motherboard will accept at boot-up. Before ordering, be sure your memory sticks match.

Seems it is not possible unfortunately, but since there is a good SSD(128Gb), you will face a good performance even with only 4Gb RAM, and I think you also can use a Super Speed USB Pen Drive as a ReadyBoost to extend cache...

Note that I did not keep the noted system in that it was not 4GB RAM as advertised. So I do not have experience on the subject system. But you can easily pose the question to the internet and get an answer.

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.

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!

I upgraded my ram to 2GB right after I got this MacBook, it is cheaper to upgrade by yourself, mine only cost $60 for 2GB ram. If you bought from mac, would be $150 more..It is also super EASY to install the ram anyway...I'm a girl, I did it very easily. I have been using the new ran for couple months and does not have any problems.

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

It comes with 4GB out of the box. I believe it can be upgraded. I basically use the computer for productivity software, email and internet. 4 GB works just fine for me.

I have not had the need to upgrade, but I know when I bought it there were options on how much RAM so I assume it can be upgraded after purchase. My experience is that unlike desktops, a laptop should be worked on by a professional unless you are really comfortable opening them up.

Yes, this is possible: you can easily upgrade the HDD and increase the RAM in this computer

No. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard, so expansion is not a realistic option.

They claim easy gradation of hardware. I think, RAM can be upgraded upto 16 GB. I think, you're better off looking at their other Intense PC Models if want high-end config and ask Linux to be pre-installed. Check this out -http://www.fit-pc.com/web/products/ipc2/

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..
