I am thinking of buying the 2019 Helios 300. However it has only 8gb of single channel ram. I want to upgrade it to 16gb by adding another 8gb. So which company should I use. Also does the model PH317-53-726Q have an extra slot for ram.

    SUNKenHERO by default all acer ram its kingston/hynix but may have other brands depending on each country get cpu-z and check which one you have and match it with another sodimm with same clock/cl/size and preferably same brand (which would probably cant find it unless its used) depending on how much youre planning to spend i would probably take the stock out and buy a ready 16gb hyperx 2666 dual channel set they arent as expensive now as they were 1 year ago :)

    SUNKenHERO as far as im aware all predators have 2 ram slots minimum up to 32gb and some have 4 slots up to 64gb and as i said you can either match the ram you have with another sodimm same clock/cl/size or take the stock out and buy a ready dual channel set either a 16gb or 32 it all depends on you budget for it as i said above
