can you add more RAM to this chromebook? null

No, but 2GB RAM goes MUCH farther on a Chromebook than on a Windows PC or a Mac. From chromebookvswindows.com : "The performance of your cheap Windows laptop will certainly degrade over time. The operating system has massive overhead, combined that with the slow spinning HDD, bloat-ware that typically ships with Windows laptops and all the additional 'essential' software, it's basically a forgone conclusion this is going to happen. In five, or even just three years your cheap Windows laptop is going to be even more annoyingly slow, while the Chromebook will keep working as it did on day one. Chromebooks, even though they have specs the same or sometimes lower than a cheap Windows laptop, always perform much faster than you expect. This is mostly due to the light-weight operating system overhead and SSD performance."

Technically you can, but only if you REALLY know what you are doing. There is not "slot" to put the ram in, it is soldered on the motherboard, so upgrading would require removing what is there and soldering on more ram. Even if you know what you are doing, this is not easy, and voids the warranty. I have this machine, and for everyday use I have had no problem with 2 GB. Chrome is MUCH better at running on lower spec machines than Windows. If you want more ram, though, you'd be best looking elsewhere.

To the best of my knowledge the ram is soldered in and not upgradable.

This Chromebook uses on-board memory, it is not upgradable.
