Are the storage and RAM expandable?

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

Sorry, I don't know about internal storage, but I have 2 terabyte drives hooked up to store music and pictures and other documents...easy, fast access. I do love the machine!

The ram can't be upgraded but that isn't a problem for me. The small hard drive was more of an issue but I solved that with a 32 GB card for large files.

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

No. The RAM is soldered to the motherboard, so expansion is not a realistic option.

Mac mini RAM and HD can be upgraded. There is an access panel on the bottom for these upgrades. Even the latest model.

Ram can be increased. But one does not need more than 8GB. Anything over that is just overkill.Hard drive can be increased but I would have a pro do it. I am more familiar with a desktop. Much easier to change out.

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.

The RAM is upgradeable... though definitely not "easily". To get the back cover off you have to remove 12 tiny recessed screws that are strongly secured by Loctite. When i tried removing the screws using a jeweler's screwdriver set, one screw simply would not come out. I tried and tried, googled and tried again with several tools, but finally decided the screw would have to be extracted or drilled out, possibly damaging the case and voiding the warranty. So I gave up and sent the RAM back. Your mileage may vary. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the laptop.

It is my understanding that it is, indeed, upgradeable to 16GB; however, I returned this computer before even powering it up as it was damaged prior to packaging at the manufacturer. The replacement I got is wonderful and it, too, is upgradeable. Hope this helps!

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

Yes. You could install 8gb. We will charge an additional $50 for the upgrade.

Yes. However, the max memory is 2Gb -- four 512Mb Rambus RDRAM is recommended.

Yes, it is upgradeble up to 8GB. You can check more details over here under specifications tab: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/K55A#specificationsMemory; DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM

the Acer Revo RL80-UR22 using the i3 cpu is expandable up to 16gb. did it 20mins ago and all is well.

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.

I previously answered a similar question here. Here's the answer: Yes it's expandable only up to 12 GB. It comes with two slots - a slot with 4 GB soldered into the motherboard and a slot with 2 GB that can be removed. I ended up removing that 2 GB RAM and putting in a Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM ($72 on Amazon Warehouse Deals) chip in it. Works great. The original 2 GB chip was ADATA brand. As long as the speeds match, then there should be no problem mixing RAM of different capacity/size.
