Can I upgrade or install new RAMs?

If you have the same Lenovo All-In-One that I do, I am thinking that you could do this. But unless you are an expert in the field, I would pay some one who is to do it for you. From what I have read and seen just on my unit, it does not appear to be "Do It Yourself" friendly. But that is just my opinion. I for one am very happy with this unit, well except for Windows 8, that is a huge pain. But I am learning, my old computer, which I still have and use, has XP on it, so there is a huge difference between the two. Am trying to be patient to learn the new system, somewhat anyway. Hope this helps, it probably wasn't what you wanted but that is as best as I can give. Grace If you have the same Lenovo All-In-One that I do, I am thinking that you could do this.

I don't know if you can or not. But the computer is very fast out of the box

If this is an Intel D2500CC board, it appears that you can install up to 4GB RAM (2x2GB). You can find all the available memory upgrade options on Crucial's site: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Intel/d2500cc

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

I'm not sure, but I can tell you when upgrading RAM you need to make sure of 3 things: 1. Type (this determines the pin configuration of the gold connectors on the bottom). 2. Speed (faster speeds in a system using a slower chipset will *usually* scale down, but slower speeds in a system using a faster chipset will slow the entire system down). 3. Amount (1 gigabyte up to 16 or more, as each hardware and each operating system has it's own minimum and maximum amount of RAM it can use). You can usually find the answers to all of these by going to your manufacturer's website and looking up your particular machine.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

Yes both can be upgraded. However there is only one so-DIMM socket so I think 8GB is max at the moment. If you go to Dell.com/support you can get find the manual for any of there hardware.

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

Just visit www.crucial.com. They have the Crucial Advisor tool which shows all compatible memory, when you pick your specific system off the list. There is also a System Scanner tool that will analyze your system and determine all compatible upgrades. The latter is better if you have no idea about your system specs.

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

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.

contact 'computer upgrade king' and inquire. I think they can make it with whatever you want in it.

Hi Diane, Yes you can, pre installed RAM is 6GB, maximum RAM supported is 8GB. Thanks, PCrush

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.

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 you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

Hi Gabriel I'm not sure, I went to www.crucial.com. I downloaded their Crucial System Scanner, it analyse's your system's hardware and provides a list of compatible upgrades that will work best with your system's specs and capabilities. Then I went to amazon because there were slightly cheaper. hope this helps you x
