I am wanting to upgrade the RAM on my laptop. It came with 6GB. What is the max it can hold? Is this something I can upgrade myself? I have upgraded memory on a Dell laptop.

From the Manual:
Two SODIMM slots - NON customer accessible / upgradeable DDR3L-1600-MHz Single Channel Support DDR3L-1600-MHz Dual Channel Support Supports up to 16 GB of system RAM in the following conƭgurations ● 16384-MB total system memory (8192×2)
So, the good news is you can increase RAM to 16 gigs or 2 x 8 gig modules. Bad news is it is not as easy as that Dell laptop likely was. No easy access panel. See page 41. You have to remove the whole back panel. It is not authorized for end users to do but also it is not as difficult as some models that require motherboard removal to upgrade RAM. You will put the warranty in jeopardy so be aware of that.
You need 2 of these:
8-GB (PC3L, 12800, 1600-MHz) 693374-005
