    Hi,
    I'm considering a Lenovo N20p chromebook, however I am disappointed that theres no 4GB RAM option. Would it be possible to buy the n20p with the 2GB of RAM and then buy 4GB or 6GB and install it myself? Or is the RAM soldered to the motherboard on these chromebooks? Thanks!

    I'm not sure but some have 2 slots with one soldered and other unsoldered.. You'll probably have to check the lenovo forum or google it...

    They do a version with 4gb in the UK I think, might be different in your region though.
