[Bardebay]

Hello,
How much ram can upgrade on the Asus zenbook pro ux501vw ,how much will I beagle to add?
Can I upgrade it to 32GB?
Thank you

No it only supports up to 16 GB

Looks like there's only 1 slot so 1x8 GB stick

So, assuming that Paul's info is correct, to upgrade to 16GB you'll have to dump the existing 8GB module and replace it with a 16GB module.

I'm just going by what the ASUS site says

If I'm reading it right, 8 GB is onboard already. So you can only add another 8 GB

Yes,I understand.it is already 16GB inside.
Would I be able to put Samsung SSD 1TB 1T【NVMe】SM961 Gen3 M.2 80mm PCIe 3.0 x4 MZVKW1T0HMLH inside the computer?

 

[Paul NZ]

There's nothing on the site saying it supports NVME

You would have to ask / contact ASUS

Do you have any 1TB ssd you can show me which is compatible?

 

[Paul NZ]

No

Do you already have the UX501 or are you intending on purchasing it?

If you are intending on purchasing it, and are looking at a model advertised as having 4K 3840x2160 resolution, know that it is using a false-resolution Pentile display that can't actually display the full 4K resolution, and creates a grainy appearance as it downsamples that resolution onto its incomplete dot array.

The Dell XPS 15 4K and Lenovo Y700 4K have true 4K displays, I would consider them first.

 

[Bardebay]

That sounds interesting,thanks for the reply

I actually just bought this laptop and Mr Memory says you can only upgrade the 4GB removable RAM module with an 8GB stick. However after looking around the net I can see a few people that say they have swapped that 4GB removable module with a 16GB one - totalling 24GB RAM.

I am actually sending back this laptop as it had been damaged before I opened it and I found a dent on the back when I was about to open it up to add more memory.

It does seem the Dell XPS 15 is the better laptop for upgradable RAM but the 4K one does come at a heafty price - Plus one really annoying thing for me is it doesnt have a numpad.

Anyone know any other 4k touchscreen high end laptops around the Dell and Zenbook Pro price points that offers the numpad and up to 32GB ram? I use alot of design programs that can be very RAM intensive. Actually I noticed while browsing chrome the Zenbook Pro was using 6GB RAM without me having any other programs open...that seems like alot to me.

All the best,

Mark J

Depending on what country you're in, there are lots of deals to get the 4K at a good price. Don't only look at Dell.com.

[Bardebay]

Is the UX501vw the same as the N501vw? My notebook says it's N501vw and there's only 2 of 4 slots occupied. I already have 16gb of RAM but would I be able to add another stick? Or is it the same as the ux501vw and only supports up to the 16gb I already have?

 

[Bardebay]

yes,i think they will have some difference.why dont you check on google?

 

[Lycenae]

Can't find anything on Google but I'm a bit confused because I thought x64 systems ("motherboard architecture?" Is that the right term?) could support far more RAM than 16gb assuming there's enough physical space so I'm wondering why this laptop has a limit like this. I'm going to assume it's the same model unless someone knows otherwise; it looks the same to me.
