Introduction

If you want your device to handle multiple tasks smoothly, have faster memory, and boost the efficiency of your workflow, you may want to replace or upgrade your RAM. The following guide shows you how to replace the RAM in your Google Cr-48 Chromebook in seven easy steps.

Your computer's RAM or random access memory gives applications a place to store and access short-term data. RAM is one of your computer's most important components for improving performance. If you notice your system is sluggish, or you have frequent crashes, reboots, blue screens, distorted graphics, or memory errors, it may be due to having too little RAM.

Before beginning this repair or upgrade, be sure to power off your laptop and disconnect from the charger.
