Aspire R7-372T-77LE 13.3", Can I swap the 8gb mem card for a 16gb mem card?

ShepR

Hello fellow Forum members. I am gathering pre-purchase information. Local Micro Center in Boston has this model for $899. I really like it, but it has only 8gb memory.

I would like to know if the 8gb memory is integrated into the motherboard, or can it be removed and will the motherboard recognize a 16gb memory card.

 

Additional question. Can the 256gb SSD be swapped for a 512gb and if so which one works best.

 

OR, would appreciate suggestions for alternate model.

What I like about the R7-372T-77LE:

 

Build quality
When in tablet mode, the keyboard does not become the bottom of the computer because of the unique design
i76500U
USB3 ports
(Ethernet Port would be nice but can use a USB dongle to convert)
Bluetooth
Secure Digital port

HDMI standard size port
256gb SSD

 

Thanks in advance if anybody can answer these questions.

The memory has to be soldered on the MB. Acer shows nothing about where it is or replacement parts.

The SSD can indeed be replaced with a 512MB. These are the ones Acer shows for this:

 

Flash Disk KINGSTON SSD NAND 512GB RBU-SNS8152S3/512GF LF+HF KN.51207.001

Flash Disk HYNIX SSD NAND 512GB HFS512G39MND-3510A LF+HF KN.5120G.027

Flash Disk LITE-ON SSD NAND 512GB CV1-8B512 LF+HF KN.5120L.005

Flash Disk SAMSUNG SSD NAND 512GB MZVPV512HDGL LF+HF PCIe NVMe KN.5120B.030

 

The Aspire R7-372T get's good ratings.
