FAQ about Asus VivoBook X705NC RAM

How much RAM can I put in my VivoBook X705NC?

Maximum is 8GB. Since there's only one memory slot, you'll need to replace whatever's in there with a single 8GB module if you want to max it out.

What kind of memory does this laptop take?

It uses DDR3 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory stick, not the full-size desktop kind. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5.

Can I add a second RAM stick to this laptop?

No, there's only one memory slot total. Whatever upgrade you do means removing the existing memory and putting in a new one.

What speed RAM should I get?

1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) is what works best. You might find faster DDR3, but the laptop will just run it at 1600MHz anyway.

Is upgrading the RAM worth it on this model?

Depends what's in there now. If you've got 4GB and constantly running out of memory, jumping to 8GB will help. If you already have 8GB, you're maxed out.

Will any DDR3 laptop memory work?

As long as it's DDR3 SODIMM (the laptop size), it should work. Just stick with 1600MHz speed and you'll be fine. Some faster modules will work but just run at the lower speed.
