Hi Kristi, Yes. The maximum GB of RAM for this laptop is 16GB. Also just a FYI, it supports up to 1333mhz RAM. No need to spend extra money on 1600mhz+ RAM for this one.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

I have not looked into the upgrade of ram as of yet. Strong laptop from what I have seen so far. Battery is built in. I ran the laptop w/o being plugged in and got about 6.5 hrs of use on the battery life. Hope this helps.

yes you can add extra HD, this laptop has 2 hard drive bays. Ram can be upgraded to 32GB max.

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

It supports up to 16 GB. There are 2 RAM slots. Each slot can take 8Gb. The PC comes with 4Gb. I personally added 4Gb to the other slot for a total of 8Gb and it works fine for what I do.

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

The laptop comes with 2x4Gb memory (2, 4GB sticks). You need to get 2x8GB. Search Amazon for just that, or Google the same.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

Yes. I bought this model specifically because I didn't want to overpay for additional memory. I added this, right from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LDLV6S/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1; and it works fine. I think 8GB is the max, but you should confirm that. I did not pay attention to that because the laptop was for my grandson.

yes- there are two slots for RAM- see youtube videos on how to access memory and replace it.... SD

No, that would be a waste of money. I contacted Lenovo, and according to them, it supports 8GB max.

Yes it is expandable. There's an access port on the underside of the laptop, as you would expect. There're 2 4Gb sticks in it factory. (I've thrown 2 8Gbs in, but I've seen no performance increase aside from Video editing)

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 ).

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!
