    Is it possible to add extra 2gb ram for this particular laptop?
    « on: January 10, 2017, 05:02:07 PM »
    Is it possible to add extra ram for this laptop? I read on internet, that it's possible and some people say it is not.. how do I know? When I checked in store on task manager it says that from 2 only 1 ram slot is in use. (store sellers didn't know anything about this)

    From what I can find the laptop only has one RAM slot.
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

    I'd be surprised if it even has a physical ram slot, machines like that with the basic Pentium Nxxxx processors and eMMC storage almost always have soldered RAM.  They are essentially the same hardware that you would find in a low cost Windows tablet.

    On the Asus website for that model: Memory : DDR3L 1600 MHz SDRAM, up to 4 G.  I interpret that to mean that it can be purchased with up to 4G of RAM but that doesn't mean that a model that came with 2G can be upgraded to 4G.

      No you can't. As i saw both ram and storage are soldered to the motherboard.
