Chromebook

I would like to upgrade the RAM on my Acer C710-2490 Chromebook.

However, I am unable to find full detailed hardware specs on this machine. To my knowledge, the machine comes with 2Gb RAM, but I do not know if there is a free slot for additional RAM, to add additional memory, if I can mix different memory speeds, or if there is only one slot. (In which case, I would have to remove the original RAM and put the newer memory in that slot.

Whilst I might (correctly) assume that there are two slots, hard experience has taught me to never assme anything, particularly in regard to technology, and to ask direct questions (even if the question itself may seem 'stupid' to the omniscient!). 

Therefore, before I spend any more funds on this machine... I would like to be able to find this information. Thank you.

Respectfully...

Thank you for such a quick reply!

The only detail not included was the speed of the RAM that is installed from the factory. I have purchased DDR3 1600 Mhz. Hopefully this is the equivalent , otherwise  will have to completely replace the factory RAM, rather than install the new RAM as an addition to what is already there.
