No, it can’t, according to Gateway in the Q and A section of the GWTC116-2 page at their official site.
“Unfortunately the RAM can not be upgraded because it is built into the motherboard”.

Question
Ronni –
How many watts does this computer use. I am off the grid with total solar power so I am very concerned about energy efficiency

I don’t know the exact number, but laptops with the low-power N4020 and small 11.6″ screens are certainly among the most power efficient ones.
4 out of 5 nice portabe
Douglas Habersaat –
Great for traveling, nice and compact. Annoyances: non-illuminated keyboard, no key to change screen brightness. To change screen brightness, press the “Windows” key and letter I, display settings will show up and a slider will allow easy brightness setting. Otherwise an excellent compact system at a great price.
