    So I recently bought this laptop and it has 4 gb of ram. I wanted to upgrade with a single 4gb stick right now, but I don't know which one to get. I read somewhere that it has a particular memory timing that isn't widely available. Is that true? I was hoping to just order from newegg.com since that's where I bought it. Are there any instructions, possibly with pictures that can show me how to install the ram? I have built many desktops, but this is my very first laptop. Also is it possible to upgrade the hard drive or add another one to it? If so is there a god 128 gb one that I should buy?

    I believe it just uses DDR3 1066MHz. No special type, just make sure its meant for a laptop.
