It's in the description. Why don't you read?
8GB of memory is available to run your powerful programs and games. Memory is expandable by up to 16GB. Additional memory is sold separately.

Exactly. And those people who say, oh 16gb will future proof it. No it won't. By the time 8gb is no longer feasible for browsing and general use, the other components in that laptop is also obsolete.
