Could you not easily upgrade the RAM to 16gb on the W500? Disk upgrade to 512GB should also be doable. (My x220 has 16Gb/512Gb and it does well for similar vm based setup.) Or do you have an older model w500?
- fHbjKlf6 14y agoNo, the W500 is limited to 8GB. The W510 can take 16GB and the W520+ 32GB
- JimmyL 14y agoIs it actually limited to 8GB, or is that just what Lenovo says/is willing to support? My x220 limited to 8GB in ever bit of published Lenovo literature, but I bought 16GB of RAM at the same spec as the 8GB I have running now and everything works fine.
- matthiasb 14y agoI upgraded my Dell Latitude E6520 to 16Go while it is supposed to be limited to 8. Don't be fool by the manufacturer specifications.
