RAM is soldered to the board and is non-upgradable. SSD is M2.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven't seen a disassembly of this specific model (11m-ap0013dx) but a very similar model (11-ad100tu) appears to have the SODIMM (laptop memory chip) in a heat-dissipating enclosure: https://youtu.be/70mj6WMtkWs. It's not for the faint of heart (it's probably about as complicated as servicing a cell phone) but I'd say it's doable with the right tools, lots of patience, and a steady hand. Again, this is assuming they haven't changed the internal design much since last year's model. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on this laptop as well (to use for automotive purposes) but I'd be really stoked if I could upgrade the RAM per the video. Once you're in there, you can also upgrade the SSD (it's an M.2 style, unlike in the video which is probably the 500GB HDD version). In fact, you can get to the SSD with a lot less disassembly.
