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

Yes. In fact, you can go all the way up to 32 GB if you want (you will need a total of four 8GB chips).

After installation it totals at 3,847 MB or 3.8 GB. I don't believe there is any updates for it though.

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

The unit comes stock with Windows 8 (Home). To expand to 16 gig you need to upgrade it to Win 8 Pro, but its easy to do, just buy a key for Win 8 Pro and enter it in the appropriate screen and it will upgrade what is needed and the laptop will then recognize 16 gig. Hope this helps

Go to www.crucial.com, then go to "memory" and agree to download the scanner which will scan your system and tell you what you can update to. If you can update to normal DD3 memory and your computer has room for 8gb or more you'll be fine. If it takes regular crucial it will take the Kingston - this memory is an excellent buy!

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

The internal memory is 8GB. You can use a micro SD card to expand the memory.

You can only go above 8GB if you do not use the mSATA drive. With an mSATA drive installed, it will only recognize 8GB max even if there is 16 GB installed.

The 16gb upgrade is really only a 8gb upgrade that only leaves the machine with a total of 16gb. I wish it was a real up grade to 24gb

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

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.

I think its 2 x 4gb and there are 2 open dims To upgrade to 4 x 8gb though, you have to remove the 8gb which is under the everythin and hard to get to

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

According to Wikipedia, 4 GB is supported by Apple but you can put in 8 GB. I upgraded to 4 GB.
