Ah yes, that has a single RAM slot. Crucial only shows an 8GB module for it: https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/thinkpad-x240#memory https:/

So I don't know, that may well be the limit. OTOH, if there a larger compatible module from another manufacturer, it wouldn't surprise me if it just worked. Lenovo generally doesn't put arbitrary restrictions on RAM size.
- d3ckard 6y agoProcessors have RAM limit as well, independent of vendor. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75992/intel-core-i7-4558u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-30-ghz.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/75992/i... Look at "Memory specification" part.
- Stratoscope 6y agoThanks for the link. Indeed, that page lists a 16GB limit, so if that is the processor in OP's machine there may be hope. I do have 16GB (8GBx2) in my older X220 Tablet.
- jpetso 6y agoFor the X250, I can confirm that it handles the 16GB. Investigated it once, haven't bothered actually upgrading, though.
- webmobdev 6y agoCan you call it a limitation of the processor? I thought it was with the accompanying chipset - https://www.easytechjunkie.com/what-is-the-difference-between-a-chipset-and-a-cpu.htm https://www.easytechjunkie.com/what-is-the-difference-betwee... .
- d3ckard 6y agoSure, the only real limitation inside the processor is the number of addressing bits if I remember correctly. However, in case of laptops I think it doesn't matter since they're kind of sold as a platform. The main point was - it might not be possible to extend RAM.
