A:Answer If the customer-supplied photos are of the Model 15-fd0127dx (SKU: 6612253) advertised, HP's replies on this question are inaccurate. These photos clearly show two standard SODIMM slots and corresponding modules, meaning they can be easily replaced by the owner, not soldered in chips, as HP states. I searched MemoryStock and they say that the RAM can be upgraded to 32GB (2x16GB). Feel free to fact check me.
