    Quoting the page you linked "to any notebook/ultrabook based on the new 5th Gen Intel Broadwell processors with CPU codes i3/i5/i7-5xxxU" ... These aren't compatible with Haswell CPUs/Motherboards

    The main reason I didn't buy into the 2015 models was the lack of an (apparent) upgrade path to 32GB of RAM. So yes, this would help.

    Many people reported 32GB upgrade working on the AW15 R2 and I saw a 32GB config offered on Amazon (from HIDevolution)
