Hi. Yeah you can take it apart and upgrade its ram. hard disk, etc. Max ram is 8GB. Take a look at http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo_g700g710_hmm.pdf. Hope this helps.

You would need to change out the whole motherboard. It wouldn't be easy or possible even supported unfortunately

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.

Yes, you can. I did that with my W-530. The way that I did it was to buy all new memory so it was matched, so I put in 4 8GB sticks and took out the memory that came with the machine. This way I had all matched memory.

i wouldn't recommand you taking apart the computer yourself since it might void the warranty, You should contact ASUS about this.

Yes the ram can be changed. Th graphics can be changed but the card would take an expansion slot unless you purchase the pc without the integrated video card.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Hello Yen, Yes, you can upgrade it. However, the two RAM slots on the computer are filled with the original memory cards (two 512KB PC 5300 SO-DIMM). To upgrade it to 2GB, you have to remove the two original RAM cards and replace them with two 1GB cards. So, the cost to upgrade this computer includes (or can be offset by selling) the two original cards. I checked DealNews.com and they show this type of card selling at US$66 each and up. Note that if you buy the computer preconfigured with 2GB RAM directly from Apple that you will be charged an additional US$175. (This would include installation, but you would not have the two RAM cards to sell.) Hope this helps.

You would have to take the back off the laptop to access the motherboard. There would be 2 4GB sticks you would take out and replace with 2 8GB sticks, which would cost about $100.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

it said it was expandable, not sure if that means you have to remove the existing ram chip or not..

You can easily upgrade this machine. The case isn't of considerable size so you would have limitations there if you planned on major upgrades.

Based on the manual, the memory is expandable: up to 8 GB with the AMD processor and 16 GB with the Intel processor, but replacing it seems very difficult. You have to take almost the entire computer apart to do so.

Yes, you can.The maximum RAM is 32GB (4x 8GB). make sure you buy DDR3L 1600Mhz sticks.and yeah, there's an empty 2.5 inch SATA slot in this laptop.

I haven't physically opened to verify whether or not the RAM can be upgraded however from reviewing the specifications I would assume the RAM is soldered

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.
