That is the max amount for this particular model. I have looked inside briefly and it appears the Ram and Storage is soldered to the board, granted I didnt pull the board out and check the other side. You may be able to add more storage by replacing the M.2-2242 currently used my the Intel Wifi/Bluetooth chip. That said, idk how Chrome OS deals with this kinda changes.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It definitely supports 128gb as that is what I put in my wife's. Technologically speaking there is no real reason not to support any microsd currently sold (256gb) and even more in the future as data cards increase in size.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If they are not meant to be upgradable why would they make RAM upgradable to 8gb per the specs on this page? That answer makes zero sense.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The ChromeBooks are lower cost alternative to a laptop and not intended for upgrading RAM or SSD storage.
