Can RAM be upgraded in this Chromebook? The module listed in the specs is 2GB DDR3L RAM. This is readily available in 4GB and 8GB kits. The Chromebook gets sluggish over time and this would be a great help

There are no RAM card slots; the RAM chip is soldered to the board. But there is another way to upgrade your RAM. You can enable swap memory, which uses part of the SSD as RAM : 1) Open a terminal by typing CTRL-ALT-T 2) Type this as it appears: swap enable 2000 3) Hit ENTER, then restart your Chromebook. You can make the RAM swap size whatever you like/ need, I believe it’s up to 6GB (swap enable 6000).

Unfortunately No,
Like this type and many other Chromebooks the RAM is solderd directly on to the motherboard.
I'm Sorry

You could, I guess, with a little patience and a lot of luck, unsolder the RAM and put on a different one. It’s way easier to rewire Chromebooks than other computers…

Does it need to be a solderable ram to be able to replace the original ram? Or can i replace the original ram with attachable ram
@tejaspatil5468 yes, it will have to be the same type of RAM. You can't substitute with removable RAM modules.
do you know which ram is used in Samsung Chromebook 3 ?

Your answer is INCORRECT. It seems that the RAM is soldered to the board (this is an SOC board, System On a Chip) and has no user serviceable memory slots.

How do you upgrade the chromebook

I think the problem is more or less that the chromebook gets sluggish over time and not that there very little ram.
Try a ram cleaner maybe?
With the newest Chrome OS, you might be able to install a ram cleaner app from the google play store.

which ram cleaner???

Ram cleaners don't help. You need to stop programs from running automatically. If you run a program to clean ram, that program is likely using ram, and it's just shutting down programs that are auto-running anyway. And process repeats once you reboot PC. In command prompt type in "services.msc" to bring you to page to manually change program startup behavior. Alternatively, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to Task Manager, click on startup tab to shut down from there. Microsoft OneDrive is one that auto runs.
