According the PC World Website, the Chromebook 515-1HT has 4MB of memory that can be upgraded to 8MB. Is this true? I can't find any other information

    The motherboard supports being populated with either 4GB or 8GB of memory, but it's soldered in so not upgradable. They may or may not do a different SKU with the higher amount of memory.

    This model comes with only 4GB LPDDR4 type RAM. Since, this is a chromebook 4GB RAM would be more than enough for heavy uses aswell. Also, there is no info about upgrading the RAM.

    PC World claim the following:
    https://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/acer-cb515-1ht-15-6-intel-pentium-chromebook-64-gb-emmc-silver-10177035-pdt.html#srcid=11026
    The above is the spec list for Chromebook CB515-1HT and claims upgradeable to 8GB. It doesn't surprise me that it is wrong as they also said there was no SD card slot. 
    In fact there is a microSD card slot on the RHS

    I'd guess PCWorld is working off the blurb included in the service manual, which states it ambiguously. ;)

    L'écran de mon chromebook 515 ne s'allume plus.
    Où puis-je poser ma question pour avoir de l'aide? (je l'ai depuis moins d'un mois!)
    Merci

    The supplier of the Chromebook should help you if it a problem with the computer components.
    Can you connect to an external monitor to discover if the problem is the screen or the computer itself?

    Le fournisseur du Chromebook devrait vous aider s'il y a un problème avec les composants de l'ordinateur.
