Can a 4GB RAM be added to this laptop to make it 16GB?

Unfortunately, this model comes with only 2 DIMM slots and both are being used by the existing sticks of RAM already installed. This model has a 4GB and a 8GB of RAM installed.

You take take out the 4GB stick and replace it with a 8GB to have 16GB total.

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.

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

There are four ram slots. You are able to use the existing ram on the laptop already and buy two more to make it 32gb.

As far as you can with two slots of laptop RAM. I was able to put 8GB in there and it improved performance a lot.

Ram is, assuming that the system can handle 16GB SODIMM memory, it comes with 2x8GB and these would have to be replaced with 16GB sticks. Similarly, storage can be expanded but only if you're OK with imaging and swapping a boot drive since there's only room for on internal drive. Access to both memory and storage requires you to remove the back cover of the screen which is straightforward. The system also comes with several USB3 ports, so adding external storage isn't a problem

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Yes, 4GB is soldered onto the motherboard. You can upgrade to 8GB, although you have to take the whole bottom cover off the ultrabook to install the RAM. crucial.com has a 4GB stick of RAM that is compatible. Part #CT3679802.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.

Yes. Laptop comes with ONE 4 GB stick of DDR3 RAM and there is ONE available slot to add an additional 4 GB.

In my experiences, when it comes to a laptop's expansionablities, you really can't believe the maker's claims.You have to really install 16/32G of ram to see it recognize. With 64bit OS, I think it can accept at least 8G of ram per slot.BTW, this is overpriced, underperforming (especially 1600 x 900) laptop at this price.DO NOT BUY.

This Unit have 16 GB of ram and can be 8X 2GB or 4X 4GB depending the memory at that moment but you can build you own on our webside

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

I'm pretty sure it should, I assume laptop ram is universal and ram is always plug and play. Chances are it'll work. Just check if your laptop can go up to 16gigs first

The motherboard on this laptop can only support 8GB of ram at the max, I currently have 8GB in my laptop at this moment

I think so. I see 16gb RAM cards for sale on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Memory-Compatible-Desktop-Special-Edition/dp/B00EFAY5Q6 But I'm using the 8gb setup that came with my system.

This laptop has 12Gb ( 8Gb +4Gb ) on board. You may need to check with MSI if there are 2 empty memory slots under the keyboard ( we think there are not ).
