RAM upgradability

This model has a single SODIMM socket, which officially supports up to 8GB of RAM (PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600MHz SODIMM).

In practice, some 16GB DRAM modules work in this machine. In particular, the 16GB DDR3L 1333MHz SODIMM DRAM module from Intelligent Memory, model IMM2G64D3LSOD8AG-B15E, is reported to work well by multiple users.

Key mapping

This model has a 6-row keyboard, where the F1 through F12 share the same top-row physical keys with special functions keys (volume, brightness, etc.). By default, the top-row keys invoke the special functions, and require Fn keypress to invoke the usual F1 through F12 functions. To switch the role and have the top-row keys default to F1 through F12, enable Fn-Lock mode (by pressing Fn+Esc).
