can I add memory (RAM) in the near future

No, the RAM is attached to the motherboard and does not have available DIMMS. I have had this computer for a year now and use it daily for AutoCAD and Solidworks (3D models) runs them fantastically plus usually Spotify and Chrome, even with only 4 GB of RAM.

You should be able to just go to a third party ram manufacturer. I recommend crucial. They have fair prices and they also have a good memory analysis program you can download for free. Everything you need to buy good ram is pretty easy to use on their website.

As long as its capacity will allow it. Also make sure it's the correct ddr memory

Yes you can use it but trying to add it to the existing 8GB on there might cause problems, that memory is 8GB 1600Mhz and this is a 8GB of 1866Mhz its not good mixing memory

Adding ram to many ultrabooks is not possible because the chips are soldered to the motherboard. Check with ASUS directly to see if it is indeed possible. That being said you might very well see a nice improvement in performance.

I don't use the memory function beyond current need, so I can't answer that question. Sorry.

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

Yes it can I bought 32gb of Kingston ram, G skill makes a 64 gb 2133mhz and a 1866 mhz kit

2 DIMM slots; Non-ECC dual channel shared1 DDR400 or DDR333 SDRAM system memory up to 2GB using128MB, 256MB, 512MB and 1GB modules SOULD BE OK

Depends on what you have in it already. It is relatively easy to do. The best site for dealing with memory add in my opinion is www.crucial.com. They can, if you let their site do it, scan your system and then recommend what is available for you. I have used generally 4GB on mine in the past and it does fine. It is an older machine and if you can stand less storage, you can improve performance by using an first generation SSD as well. Crucial can also just use Manufacturer and Model to list the available memory sets for you and you can pick what you want. I am currently using 2-2GB PC3 sets.

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

Yes, you wont see any performance gain from quad channel (does your motherboard support quad channel?) 2x4gb is plenty for anybody at this point until software multitasking progresses.

No you cannot officially add RAM. There are some places that sell tools to take apart you MacBook, but I'd think about that. Buy the RAM you want installed don't try and add RAM on any Apple products

It should you just need to make sure that you motherboard can utilize 8 GB or RAM.

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)
