FAQ about Asus Vivobook X412DK RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Vivobook X412DK?

You can install up to 20GB total. There's only one RAM slot, and it looks like there's 4GB soldered on the motherboard, so you can add a 16GB stick to reach the maximum.

What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?

You need DDR4 SODIMM (the smaller laptop-sized RAM). Make sure it's 2666MHz speed - that's also labeled as PC4-21300 sometimes.

Can I upgrade both RAM slots?

No, there's only one upgradeable slot. The laptop comes with some memory soldered directly to the motherboard that can't be changed, plus the one slot you can upgrade.

Will faster RAM work if I can't find 2666MHz?

Yes, faster RAM like 3200MHz will work, but it'll just run at the slower 2666MHz speed. Don't bother paying extra for faster speeds since the laptop can't use them.

Is the RAM upgrade worth it?

Depends on what you're doing. If you're running multiple programs, lots of browser tabs, or doing any photo/video editing, going from 8GB to 20GB will make a noticeable difference in performance.
