Yes, the Intel chipset and CPU type can see up to 16GB's of DDR3L PC3-1600, w/ latency 11. The DIMM's are reachable by taking off the bottom plate. There are four screws located under the rear feet. Each foot has two screws. The front feet do not have any screws located under them. Use a credit card to break the shell apart and do it slowly. There is a cable for the side ports that is attached to the lower plate and it you remove it to quickly you will rip it apart.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately no. None of the satellite radius models have user upgradable memory. Sadly, this has really become the new norm in the industry. They want you to pay hundreds of dollars more at initial purchase for more memory instead of allowing users to upgrade the memory at a fraction of the cost! Soon, they'll have 100% of the components soldered into the darn thing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just opened my new P55W-B5112 radius to replace the 1TB HDD with an SSD (very easy). When I did I expected to see the memory soldered on board due the people here saying it isn't upgradeable. However, it is sodimms and you have access to the both slots. The chipset on this supports 16GB, so the only reason I can see you can't upgrade it is if the motherboard doesn't support it. I may try it and order 2 8GB sticks just to see. Just wanted to put a note here for anyone reading that you can access the memory slots if you open the case, just not sure if the MB will support larger than 4GB per slot (why limit to only 4GB in this day and age though). Love the laptop though, 8GB is plenty for my windows setup with virtualbox running ubuntu (gave it 1.5GB and its smooth).
