You can update the hard drive but unfortunately you will be locked on the leopard OS 10.5 because everything from snow leopard on is intel processor only and you can't update the processor. I hope that helps.

Yes. It will take up to 2GB of RAM. I put a 1TB HDD in it and it seems to work just fine. Just make sure you jump the terminals

Yes. It will and opening it up is so easy I maxed out the RAM. I put a new HDD all works great leopard OS 10.5 worked well on it

Yes has four RAM slots total and two hdd slots total leaving room for expansion. Can go up to 32gb I believe. Better investment would be an ssd though . . .

Way too much information. Short answer: Yes. Long answer: You already have a 5400 RPM SATA drive, so all you're doing is upgrading the size.

Go to crucial.com it will tell you the max upgrade you need. certain computers can only handle a limited amount. My Sony had 512mb so I upgraded it to 2 gb

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

Some components (memory, disk, graphics) are easy to upgrade, the motherboard is replaceable, but is a customized version....

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Yes it can be upgraded it's a 2.5" drive. The one it comes with(or at least mine) is Western Digital Model#: WD5000BPVT. Search that hard drive model and you will find all kinds of information about it. It is the one that is in it and the same form factor will have to replace it.Height 9.5mmWidth 69.75mmLength 100.3mm

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?
