Can the standard 4 GB memory be upgraded by the user?

No, I may be wrong. But this is smaller and lighter than a 11inch MacBook air. MBA doesn't allow aftermarket modification ,so, ~ . well still a layman's opinion, but this is a really small laptop, everything in it is unchangeable I guess

No chance of swapping the ram, that is soldered to the board. You can if you are extremely motivated change the SSD (NGFF, M.2), good luck finding one though, they are as of April 2014 only available to manufacturers...

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

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?

imI'm not sure if the memory is expandable, I refuse to purchase anything else for this item!

The system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.

Memory can be upgraded in increments of four or eight gig chips of RAM. I replaced the two four gig chips with four eight gig chips maxing it out with thirty two. Machine has four memory chip slots.

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

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.

Don't think the seller will, but I ordered from crucial and installed 4 GB myself. Took about 2 min

Yes, it's a really easy upgrade to 8GB. There's one slot, take 2GB out and put the 8GB stick in.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

That is correct, not upgradable nor does it come in other memory configs besides 8GBs unfortunately.

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Yes you will need to replace the memory installed to upgrade to higher memory. Be sure it is compatible!! Once done go to setup let it recognize the new memory and boot to windows.

I usually sell my machines with 2 GB but can offer you an upgrade to 4GB free of charge
