Today I've upgraded the RAM of my Asus Vivobook X512DA with the help of your tutorial! God bless you, Mr. Cadillac! And all of you here!

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.

Fantastic tutorial! I just upgraded my NVMe to 2TB thanks to your video. Thank you so much for showing how it's done.

Great tutorial. Very useful to know about the leads for the 2.5 drive as I was considering just adding one of those. Thank you vetry much.

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.

Thank you for the help amigo. I bought the same exact laptop in November. Just upgraded the RAM. Easy peezy but I'm so gentle it took me a while to pop open the lid haha.

Thanks I was scared to disassemle my laptop, but finally did it with your help. I was easy 😅

I am a person that knows not one thing about computers, and wow, you helped me a lot lol from the program you use as well as just every step of the way. I watched this video about ten times to do it, but it’s done lol I have progressive ms and my memory is 100% horrible lol but I gave you some views lol and I’m gonna share this video on my channel as well to help other. Thank you very much

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.

Just happened to stumble across this channel and I have to say after watching a few of your videos, you've earned a subscriber!! Keep it up! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Still using my Asus Vivobook 15 X512FL with MX250 Nvidia happily, 3 years old laptop, want to upgrade to new laptop with better Nvidia but not urgent still can go few years, instead upraded ram and gonna upgrade with new SSD to improve it, best video to learn how to do these with Vivobook 15's this segment, thank you!

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!

[madvargas]

That's a very great video. Gives me confidence to upgrade my ssd!

[adhishmehta]

Awesome Tutorial my man, but I wanted to ask if it is worth upgrading your RAM to 12GB, or will the standard 8GB configuration work just fine even as the laptop age? Cheers!!!

[RullyFrantino]

Thank's for the video bro...great information, I'm subscribing your channel...

[rrwatch]

Thanks I'll give it a try ! Great demonstration.

Great video. 1. Could you please post the make and model of the USB enclosure adapter? 2) Very curious if their is a penalty in performance for not using the same memory size as the soldered onboard? I see individuals using a 32 Gb stick as well. Any feedback would be great, and enjoy the videos!

[HelpingTerra]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you very much!

How do you add a 2nd HDD/SSD on that empty tray? Do you have any videos on the channel with that?
