“Installed Memory and Memory Capacity? I see on the Best Buy website that there is 8 GB of DDR3 RAM installed on this particular model sku of the G501, and in the detailed specifications list on the Best Buy website it says that the memory is expandable to 16 GB. Is this information correct? Can the laptop memory be upgraded to 16 GB?”

Yes it can but the problem is that 4GB is soldered onto the motherboard and is not removable. There is one RAM slot that currently has 4GB of RAM on it. So really the most you can do is swap out the 4GB stick with an 8GB stick to give you 12GB RAM. Unless they make 12GB sticks for laptops which i hven't seen.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The system comes with 8gb. 4gb is soldered and a 4gb stick. I replaced it with a 8gb stick for a total 12gb.
