FAQ about Asus X555QG RAM

How much RAM can I put in the Asus X555QG?

The laptop maxes out at 16GB. It only has one memory slot, so whatever you install is all you get - no adding a second stick later.

What type of RAM does the X555QG use?

It uses DDR4 SODIMM modules - those are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get SODIMM specifically or it won't fit.

What speed RAM should I get for this laptop?

The recommended speed is 2133MHz (also labeled as PC4-17000). You can technically install faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2133MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with the recommended speed.

Can I add more RAM later if I need it?

Not really - since there's only one slot, you'd have to remove your current RAM and replace it with a bigger stick. So if you start with 8GB and want 16GB later, you'll have to toss the 8GB stick and buy a whole new 16GB one.

Is it worth upgrading from 4GB or 8GB?

If you're multitasking, using Chrome with lots of tabs, or doing any photo/video editing, definitely go for 16GB. The single slot limitation means you should probably max it out now rather than upgrade twice.
