The Asus X401A is confirmed upgradeable with only one DIMM. I used a single Samsung 8GB DDR3L (M471B1G73DB0-YK0), up from the 4GB inside. It was such a hassle just to replace it though, something that could easily have been fixed with a simple service door on the bottom instead of having to open up from the keyboard and flip the mobo
Hi What was your processor? Mine is pentium B970... Im in doubt of upgrading from 2gb to 4 or 8gb because google says 4gb max but crucial site says it can take up to 8gb. Thanks
@@sooolion9820 Intel Pentium CPU B980 @ 2.40GHz
@@sooolion9820 the RAM is only upgradable, right?? I'm planning to upgrade processor too if allowed,, im using X401A and too laggy with the 4GB RAM installed after upgrading OS from Win8 to Win10...
@@LenhaRDT0130 win10 requires higher end hardware i believe. it can be done as long as the new processor has the same slot as your existing one. I Never tried it personally though. Mine still runs on old B970 processor, win7, and now the new 4gb RAM. I had a guess that my specs cant handle higher version OS so i did not upgrade it. Win7 + 4Gb RAM does the job for my needs so far. Good luck to you!
@@sooolion9820 then i should go back to win8 since it felt really slow since upgrading to win10.. and maybe just upgrade my 2GB RAM.. thanks
Thanks. Any idea if it can take 8gb RAM? Google search says the max is 4gb but Crucial site says 8gb
Could you solve your doubt?
@@jhulianmerida7133 i just used 4gb to be safe
@@sooolion9820 Tomorrow I will buy an 8Gb. If it works I'll tell you
@@sooolion9820 Hello again, I used a 8Gb ram and changed the HDD for an SSD. Both worked fine for me. Laptop ASUS X401A
Awesome thank you!
You can not replace the RAM for Asus X401U. This model has the RAM memory built in the mother board.
@Noobplayz TV You can have it only if you desolder the RAM and solder back a different one's. The question is: will work?
And it's not for everyone to do that operation. ;)
Solder deez nutzzz
aren't there r 2 slots??
@@raptheflop that's why I came here to see how many slots it has. According to this video it only has one slot. However I think this video is of a 401a I have 401u although it may not make a difference the mobo may be the same on em... I can let you know when I crack mine open in a few days.
@@AnjouBlaxx Did you ever find out if it was upgradeable or soldered?
8:20😂😂😂😂
sn0k3e 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Goal ⚽️!!! 😄 🤣 😂
wonder if i could fit a X401A main board in a X401U
Look very similar... what would be the advantages?
Be carreful ! Not every x401u can have the ram change, just try to change it with mine and it actually have no place for it
Thank you. Very helpful information.
Itu asus X401U?
Viewers: no audio. Poster: Thx very well done. What exact model was this? The 1st link for Questions is good w/ very good images, I have used the "diagram of the bottom case" idea. From videos it appears a paint brush is preferred over a vacuum cleaner nozzle.
Olá para upgrade de memoria esse notebook tem quantos slot?
Depends on the model. The one in this video looks like only 1... I believe it is 401a. Personally I have 401u
O meu é o x401u serve?
Will what exactly work? Yes you can change your 2gb stick to 8gb stick fro. What I understand.
that is not x401U...
Description for this video "How to replace RAM memory in laptop Asus X401, X401A, X401U"
That's the point Lucian finds incorrect. Most people would agree.
I believe it is 401a. Do you have 401u? How many slots hoes it have?
Notebook ASUS X401U Not Memory Removible
Correct. It's an Asus X401a. I own one of these, and it looks like I'd have to take the motherboard out in order to get to the RAM module.
@@DoctorKosher1978 sheesh! That blows
100% sure?
Доброй ночи. Имею с 2012 года асус 401. Оперативка 4 гб (32 разрядная 7). Процессор 2020 m. Ssd 250 Гб еще не ставил. ВОПРОС: целесообразно ли паять и переходить на i 5? Нужно ли ставить память 8 Гб? Переходить ли на ос- 64? Можно ли поменять экран на ips? Сегодня сравнил с добротным асусом 2010 года игровым, так у нашего асус 401 экран намного лучше (!!!), а все остальное хуже (клавиатура, пластик).... Намного ли асус 401 хуже асуса k -43 (в плане экрана)? В игры я не играю. Ю-тюб, офис, соц сети (но ноут тормозит, т к жд 320 Гб забит на 220 Гб). А я люблю все БЫСТРО. Глаза устают, может ips fhd лучше будет (или экран асус х 401 а- оптимум)? Интс только 14 дюймов!!! Буквы на клаве стерлись!!!
sólo tiene una ranuera para memoria ram?
Correct from the looks of it.
8:23 😂
Thanks, after watching this I decided that I am going to hire a professional in my area instead of doing this on my own.
Есть рабочая ссылка на память? Буду благодарен
Я так и не понял, туда можно ещё одну планку поставить, или только менять на 4гб?
@@Школьникнаивный no, I believe only on slot. So you will need to replace it with 1 8gb stick.. (depending on exact model) I have 401u
Thats the laptop that I have
Use me as boton for Integrated ram
typical Asus thank god it was found in the garbage will not bother
