FAQ about Asus X455LNB RAM

How much RAM can I put in my X455LNB laptop?

You can install up to 8GB maximum. The laptop only has one memory slot, so whatever module you put in there is all you get - no adding a second stick later.

What type of memory do I need for this laptop?

You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory, not the full-size desktop RAM. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5, as they won't fit or work.

What speed RAM should I get?

Go with 1600MHz DDR3 (also labeled as PC3-12800). The laptop might accept other speeds but 1600MHz is what's recommended and will work best.

Can I add more RAM to what's already installed?

No, since there's only one slot, you'll need to remove whatever's currently in there and replace it with your new module. If you have 4GB now and want 8GB, you can't just add another 4GB stick - you need to buy an 8GB module and swap them out.

Is the RAM upgrade worth it if I already have 4GB?

Moving from 4GB to 8GB can make a noticeable difference, especially if you multitask or use memory-hungry programs. You'll see less slowdown when switching between apps and smoother overall performance. Just remember you're capped at 8GB total.
