I have a Lenovo Z710 laptop and I noticed Task Manager and other programs show that the laptop has 4 memory slots. I opened the back of the laptop where things like disk and RAM slots are but there are only two memory slots each with 4 GB modules which gives the 8 GB of RAM the laptop has. Now the question is where are the other 2 slots? Are they not there and wrong amount of memory slots are reported or are they hidden somewhere? I've heard some manufacturers hide them under the keyboard. I would look but I'm worried it'll void the warranty.

Anybody has any experience with this?

    You will have to check with the manufacturer. Either they can tell you where they are, or they will tell you there are only two ( in which case, they just screwed up and did not change the default description in the bios to say there are only 2 slots that they pinned out on the board ). – psusi Nov 27 '15 at 23:47
  • I guess they screwed up as they say the RAM can be upgraded to 16 GB. – Fisty256 Nov 27 '15 at 23:50

Your computer has two memory slots according to the official user guide (see page 37 and 38)

If two DDR3L SDRAMs are already installed in the memory slot, remove one of them to make room for the new one
