Can the 4gb ram be expanded to 8gb? and what about the 128gb storage?

Ram or memory can be expanded to 8gb. The 128GB SSD is the computer hard drive.

In regard to the RAM, there is only one slot, so you would need to replace the included stick of RAM with an 8GB stick rather than having the ability to add a second 4GB stick. This model uses low voltage DDR3L RAM operating at 1.35 volts, so be sure to get RAM that supports this voltage. While you can replace the SSD, this computer uses an mSATA drive, not the common 2.5-inch form factor that the majority of SSDs use. Both the RAM and SSD are located in the screen/tablet portion of the computer. There is also a 2.5-inch hard drive bay in the keyboard/dock portion of the computer in which a hard drive or SSD could be installed, but this storage would only be available when the tablet is connected to the dock. Here is what the internals look like, to help you decide if you want to attempt the upgrades: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/productdata/Countries/_MultiCountry/disassembly_notebo_20131024234544866.pdf

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

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

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

Yes it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

To increase the ram, you should seek a specialist to swap the memory .... As for the HD you can use an external hard ... good luck

no you can't, this mini have ram sold integrated, dont have slots SODIMM inside to expand memory as tipical laptops!!!!

4GB RAM as listed here, manual indicates it's replaceable (only one SODIMM slot) with 8GB RAM. Not a trivial replacement for end-users. To clarify other answers, storage is 128GB M.2 SATA, upgradeable to 512GB.

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.

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

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.

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.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

It can be upgraded up to 32RAM, you might need to go through their web site to custom build. You can modify just about everything. You'd want to make sure cracking the case and doing it yourself would not void the warranty if you try that.
