Can I add an extra HD to this? And can the ram be upgraded?

yes you can add extra HD, this laptop has 2 hard drive bays. Ram can be upgraded to 32GB max.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

It's OK. But my recommendation will be upgrading the ram memory. If you add more RAM will be fine

The short answer is yes. The ran can be upgraded to 16gb (2x8) but comes with 4gb (1x4). So from a cost vs benefit perspective I would only add one stick. The hdd could be upgraded through replacement. The system only has one bay available internally. You could easily add an external hdd for additional storage.

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

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.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

Hi, Max supported RAM is 16GB. We have no data on the HDD aspect. Thanks, PCrush

Yes has four RAM slots total and two hdd slots total leaving room for expansion. Can go up to 32gb I believe. Better investment would be an ssd though . . .

I can confirm that the machine can upgrade to 8GB. The OS is running 64bit so you may want to upgrade to 8gb. Replacing the RAM requires a near full teardown of the machine. See chrome://system under meminfo for more info. The SSD is soldered on the board and cannot be upgraded with consumer parts.

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

1- there are 2 internal HDD slots, and you could use one of the two external 5.25" slots to add another; 2- cable management is something you implement (I recommend twist-ties for SATA cables) once your drives are in, as you'll determine where this non-critical aspect is needed; 3- the fact that it can use a standard ATX supply is a big plus for upgrading ... good luck with your system build :)

If you mean put more memory on the hard drive, you can't. I asked the sales people where I bought it from.

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.
