I just want to thank you for such a great explanatory video. Seldom have I seen technicians explaining the whole process of repairing/upgrading a laptop so patiently and clearly. Not only that, but I also feel the need to mention that English is my second language, and I was able to understand every single word you said, which is something I usually struggle with. I recently acquired a more modern version of an ASUS laptop, and your video fully helped me to upgrade its RAM and SSD, for which I also thank you. Greetings from Mexico.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I bought my Asus Vivobook a year ago and it came with 8gb ram (4+4) and the Asus website is not helpful. Probably because they'd rather I buy a new laptop every year instead of upgrading my ram. This video will have saved me nearly $300 since now I feel confident that I can do this myself. My next project is recovering files from three old hard drives.

I find this laptop easy to service. Though I've kind of janked a 4 TB HDD in there that is too thick (15mm thick)... I just left out a couple of screws and let it bulge! Well worth it for that HDD. I also upgraded the ram to 12GB.

Thanks for the tutorial! I change my RAM to a Vengeance 16gb and the ssd to NVMe M.2 Samsung 980 pro 1tb. Cloning the ssd went well, but when I boot up the laptop it gave me an error "inaccessable drive" then Windows restarted itself and gave me the option to start it up in Safe Mode. Which went well and after that everything is working fine. Bit weird but it works! Thank you!

@moa_kpop1241 Жыл бұрын
I'd say either upgrade to 16GB or leave it at 8GB because RAMs don't work well together and achieve optimal performance when they are not equal in storage.

Also, what speed was the RAM included?one also has 2400 on-board but came with 2666 SODIMM so that's what I ordered. No problems so far, but would 2400 be better?

Great video! I just put in a 1TB drive (Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SN570 NVMe Internal Solid State Drive SSD), and 8 G RAM (TEAMGROUP Elite 8GB Single DDR4 2400MHz PC4-19200 CL16 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.2V SODIMM 260-Pin Laptop Notebook PC Computer Memory Module Ram Upgrade). For some reason, the 'puter's not seeing the RAM....? (There was no RAM module in the spot, unlike what you saw here... ) The device still shows it has the onboard 4GBs of RAM, when, theoretically, it should show 12GB. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this?

Hi. 4gb onboard, and adding one more 4gb stick in empty slot would get you true dual channel, as long as speed is the same. Being this is not a gaming laptop, it really doesn't matter. Some people just want more ram, 20gb is still better than just 4gb.

@synthwolfe8906 3 жыл бұрын
question. as a vivobook owner, i notice my laptop has the same slot next to the battery, with that same sata connector right behind the nvme slot. would i be able to use both? for instance, could i boot from nvme, with a 2.5 sata ssd as an internal slave? and if so, how would i set it to slave? i know older drives would have the flip switch for it, but i don't believe i've seen those switches on newer drives, ssds specifically.
@OzanEicher 2 жыл бұрын
from bios, you can select which drive to boot from
@dinil5566 2 жыл бұрын
You can buy a connector cable (Asus only provided slot. But to connect HDD/ SSD you need a connector cable) and connect your newly bought HDD/ SSD and format it and use and D or E drive. After adding new HDD if it's not booting up normally, simply go to bios and select the boot from (primary) as Nvme. That's it. If you have trouble with bios while changing, there are like 100000 videos of those on KZfaq.
