The ram can be upgraded to 12 GB. At least there is a bit of game here.
Nice FHD IPS screen and a 12th gen i3. I think the price level for this config is good.

    I repair so many Acer's with hinge issues, the plastic they use in the body and around the brass screw threads is really brittle and cracks over time causing the screen to come away at the hinges. Unless this is made from metal which I don't think it is, I'd avoid it.

    Why 12? Needs to be upgraded to 16 for proper dual channel.

    I guess 4gb ram is soldered and only one slot is available to upgrade...

    Can anyone give opinions on which is better this or the sell inspiron posted a few days ago

    Tbh, I reckon it's down to the fine specs. The Dell has easily upgraded ram and 15.6 screen. But the Acer is a well regarded laptop. They're both okay imo unless some heavy processing is required and they may even be suitable for that.

    Read the specs. If it is true, 3*usb 3.1 (no usb 2.0 anymore, finally) Thunderbolt 4, hdmi 2.1, wifi 6e...jeeeez, for this money these extras are unbelievable.....fingerprint sensor, backlit keyboard with ips screen....
    This is a huge steal...

    Serious little deal this. If I didn’t buy the Dell Insprion 14 a few weeks back, I’d be getting this 🔥

    Yeah, I mean there is a lot to love about this and the price is affordable.

    If it was 15.6" I would buy it even though I just got a Lenovo Slim 3 15.6" with similar specs for a similar price.

    This sounds like it probably has 4gb soldered. So could probably put a 16gb SODIMM in the other slot to make it 20gb.

    Any idea if the ssd can be upgraded?
    PetrolHeadRR's avatar
    It's NVMe in the specs sheet so you should be good replacing that.

    Back lit keyboard and fingerprint sensor as well, seems decent for the price although not as good as the argos Travelmate from a few weeks ago.
    markyo007's avatar
    How is it not better than the TravelMate? The processor for one is. 12th gen i3 is better than the i5 in the TravelMate. TravelMate supports up to 32GB ram, but that’s about it. (edited)

    Does anyone know if this has 2xnvme slots like the 15.6" version?

    Can't deliver, can't collect from my local store! So glad I used one of my works rewards vouchers to use on this before checking if I could even get it!
    What a muppet
    manlikemish's avatar
    That's one of my biggest fears cause the voucher is non refundable
