I see that this laptop has 8GB RAM. Does anyone know if it is expandable to 16?

Yes, but unless done by a manufacture approved place it will void the warranty.

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.

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!

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.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

You should probably look up the manual.... the 16 GB (if I recall correctly) is not supported, only a maximum of 8 GB.

I added another 4 gb to bring it to 8 gb. Before the upgrade laptop would crash when I opened too many windows. Since the upgrade, laptop has not crashed. It has an open slot to easily add the memory.

Yes it is expandable to 32 GB of RAM, but make sure you get the exact same type and speed of memory that is already in it, which in mine is DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)

If your laptop is running Win 7 Home Basic then you can only have 8GB of RAM if you have the Premium then you can install 16GB like you are trying. Also, you need to make sure that you are using the same frequencies that your laptop supports. Hope that helps.

Crucial says no, but it can if it has the i7 processor. I'm not sure what to believe. I have the laptop and it works great for everything I need it to do. It is a bit hot though and the battery life is pretty weak (but what do you expect considering everthing the laptop has). If you find out whether it can support 8 gig, post it back here.

Well it has 6 gb ram but you can only use about 5.5 gb. I've had this laptop for over a year and it has handled everything I threw at it.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

Not sure but I highly recommend this laptop. It's upgradable to 32 g of RAM. It's runned nice and smoothly since I bought it.

I bought this laptop 3months ago for school. It has been exceptional. Only has 1gb of memory so kind of slow. Recommend going with at least 2gb or upgrading as I am about to

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

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.
