    4GB RAM? Really?

      Upgradable to 12GB really (;-)

        I am just amazed that some manufacturer still offer laptops with half the size of RAM you can find i a mid range smartphone.

          It's the U.S. market. This laptop has an RRP of $399 USD with this configuration, excluding state taxes.

          This is fine cause it's cheap and has an empty slot.

          Microsoft selling a $1000 Surface with 4 gig soldered.. now that's scummy

          • tonyjzx on 14/10/2020 - 14:05

            @Merlict: The reason is that it simplifies assembly. You dont need a dimm so the board goes straight in.

              @tonyjzx: Sure, I understand why they do it. Still sucks for end users.

  • ChickenDinner123 on 14/10/2020 - 12:00

    Can you chuck a 16GB sodimm ram chip in there?

    • shellshocked on 14/10/2020 - 12:09

      You could but there is no detail whether the BIOS supports it. Usual would be another 4gb(for dual channel) or 8Gb so-dimm.

        their website clearly shows max 24gb ie. 16 + 4

          that's an interesting addition! When I was at school, they told me 16 + 4 is 20

  • macrocephalic on 14/10/2020 - 12:26

    You really need to factor in another ram stick and bigger ssd, but still a good price.

    Damn - if this was 13-14" and 1.5kg I would have bought
    Any bargains in that more portable size?

      Dell Outlet has had some good cheap stuff lately. Stock changes all the the time so check it every so often.

  • Froot Loops on 14/10/2020 - 13:16

    Really starting to hate the amount of deals with soldered ram poping up. I always believe that if you purchase the item you should have the right to atleast change the ram and ssd in non-ultrabook formats. Really sad manufactures are going down this path.

      I do agree with you however I think as long as there's a free slot then its not all bad. Also they probably did their research and worked out most owners do not go over 16gb and some dont even use both slots ever in the life of the unit.

      So for most users this is fine. And being a cheap acer…

        I'm going to be 99% of users never upgrade anything on cheap laptops

        Source: My ass

      • Froot Loops on 14/10/2020 - 16:51

        I agree that most users won't go over 16gb in a laptop, but the laptops that will need to be upgraded the most are cheap laptops. They already come from the factory with a disadvantage on the longevity of smooth running. Don't get me wrong, 1 free slot is better than none, but we are starting to see alot of 8gb dual channel that is soldiered with 2x 4gb sticks. I can't see the benefit to the user at all and just forces the consumer to possibly but the more expensive model. I think a big concern with soldiered ram and ssd's, is if they shit themselves you need to replace the entire board, making most laptops throwaways.

    Anyone know if the warranty is claimable in Australia?

    • Dontreadthis on 15/10/2020 - 10:51

      I'd also like to know this and if the power adapter comes with an AU clip in plug…

      • shellshocked on 15/10/2020 - 12:35

        No it doesn't. Just buy the US to AU adapter for $5 to $10

    • Low Punt on 15/10/2020 - 13:19

      would also like to know; cant find an answer so far.
