Q: I have been reading up on the laptop and just have one simple question. Is the RAM expandable? Like can you add more later on.

A: I was just in Best Buy talking to them about this. It has 2 slots in which it has two 8 RAM cards. In order to get more Ram such as a 32 you need to buy two 16 RAM cards and replace the 8 RAM with the 16 RAM. Pretty spendy tho! About $650 to do this give or take a few bucks.
