Do Acer Swift 3 SF314-54-30BN have memory slot?
As shown in the answer post, you have a single SODIMM slot which allows expansion to either 8GB or 12GB using a 4GB or 8GB stick. Rudy didn't show the actual speed, but it's DDR4-2666 SDRAM,
Though this might not be relevant anymore, thought it'd be of interest:

I've upgraded the wifi card to the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 non vPro, which made a massive difference to the wifi speed and bluetooth range.
I've upgraded to a samsung m2 256 ssd and a 1tb 2.5"
I've upgraded to windows 11.
While the laptop can't really game, i've had success with these upgrades to run all the ftb modpacks, and even cities skylines at 1080p with low settings and fps boost mods. Simple graphically games like Urbek City Builder, factorio etc work perfectly.
Even now, so many years after buying this little laptop it's still serving me perfectly.
