Does the Acer R11 Chromebook Model # CB5-132T-C1LK Have Upgradable Ram?

My Chromebook is going to arrive tomorrow and I purchased it from amazon it says it should be that model so I'll double check when it arrives tomorrow to be sure.

I know the R11 Chromebook had upgradable ram in other models, just not sure if that's still the case with this model.

I would also love to hear about any other upgrades for this Chromebook there might be.

I have a PNY 256GB SD Card selected

I also have a Samsung 128GB Flash Drive selected

I purchased a iPearl Hard Case as well

Really just looking to upgrade this thing as much as I can, I'll even accept external upgrades as well that work well with chromebooks.

I'm planning on using Crouton to add Linux functionality to it as well.

Hello,

Memory: 4Gb DDR3L onboard and not expandable
Storage: 32Gb eMMC onboard
Card reader: According to the Acer specifications, up to 64Gb.

That model is listed by Acer on their fliers and website as having 4 gb ram and 32gb SSD.

Judging from their laxness in updating the User Manual, whats in there could be anything, but a fast teardown of the unit shows that whatever is in there it is mostly soldered in place on one board.

There are ribbons to the display , keyboard and battery. The radio module is plugged in. There appear to be 4, 1GB RAM chips and a non-removable memory module.(Think of that as maybe faster storage.)
