It comes with slots
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.4GB of DDR4-19200 RAM is soldered onto the motherboard. There is one DDR4 SODIMM slot which is accessible from the bottom of the unit after removing the entire bottom panel (which involves removing the DVD drive and the two screws beneath that, and popping out the keyboard and removing the one screw beneath that). You can put a maximum of 16GB DDR4-19200 RAM into this slot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The machine has only one standard Laptop slot for the new DDR4 Memory. It is not soldered in, but difficult to get to. This memory is not easy to upgrade. There is no simple cover for the RAM access. In order to increase the RAM, you basically have to disassemble the laptop, remove the battery, DVD drive, Keyboad and bottom base to get to the memory slot. Lenovo ships it with 4 GB and says it upgradable to 8 GB. However, Crucial memory sells a single 16 GB stick which they say is compatible. I would call Crucial if you want to upgrade above the 8 GB limit that Lenovo states this machine has. If you use the Crucial product finder to pick your product, and it doesn't work in your machine, they will either help you on the phone to get it to work, or refund your money. This is the tech info from the Lenovo Web Site: Memory Type and speed: DDR4-2133 MHz Maximum supported capacity: 8 GB Slot: SODIMM × 1 This is the tech info from the Crucial Web Site: Your Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK system specs as shipped memory Maximum Memory:20GB Slots:1 (1 bank of 1) *Not to exceed manufacturer supported memory. Here is Crucial's 16 GB Stick: Crucial 16GB DDR4-2133 SODIMM CT9434429 DDR4 PC4-17000 • CL=15 • Dual Ranked • x8 based • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR4-2133 • 1.2V • 2048Meg x 64 • upgrade for Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK system. Here are the upgrade instructions from Lenovo: 1090 DIMM For access, remove these FRUs in order: • “1010 Keyboard” on page 33 • “1020 Optical drive” on page 35 • “1030 Base cover” on page 36 • “1040 Battery pack” on page 40 Figure 9. Removal steps of DIMM Release the two latches on both edges of the socket at the same time in the direction shown by arrows 1, and then unplug the DIMM in the direction shown by arrow 2. When installing: Insert the notched end of the DIMM into the socket. Push the DIMM firmly, and pivot it until it snaps Into the place. Make sure that it is firmly fixed in the slot and difficult to move. Hope this answers your question.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.A certified technician can add up to 8GB of RAM to this system. There is one slot, so the 4GB stick will have to be replaced. The work must be done by a certified technician so as to not void the warranty.
