FAQ about Asus UX310UAK RAM

How many RAM slots does the UX310UAK have?

It has 2 slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed.

What's the maximum RAM I can have in this laptop?

20GB total - that's 4GB soldered on the motherboard plus up to 16GB in the upgradeable slot.

What type of RAM do I need to buy?

You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones.

What speed RAM should I get?

2133MHz (also labeled as PC4-17000) is the recommended speed. Faster RAM will work but will run at 2133MHz anyway.

Can I add 32GB to get 36GB total?

No, the upgradeable slot maxes out at 16GB, so 20GB total is the limit.

Will any DDR4 laptop memory work?

As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM at 2133MHz or faster, and 16GB or less, it should work fine. Don't get DDR3 or DDR5 - it won't fit.
