FAQ about Asus VivoBook Pro N705UQ RAM
How much RAM can I put in my VivoBook Pro N705UQ?
You can install up to 16GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so that's usually 2x8GB sticks.
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized RAM sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure they're DDR4, not the older DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get?
Go with 2400MHz (also labeled as PC4-19200). The laptop might work with faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2400MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or do they need to match?
You can mix sizes like 4GB + 8GB, but for best performance get matching pairs. Same size, same speed, ideally same brand. Dual channel works better with matched sticks.
Do I need to remove the existing RAM or can I just add more?
Depends what's already installed. If you have one stick and an empty slot, just add another. If both slots are full with smaller sticks, you'll need to replace them with bigger ones to upgrade.
