I have an Acer Aspire ES1-132-C0NU which I bought 3 years ago. I want to upgrade the storage and the RAM to improve the performance. Currently, the storage is 500Gb HDD and RAM is 2Gb. Is my laptop compatible with 500Gb SSD and can I add additonal RAM into it, if yes how many Gb is the maximum? Also, I tried to open the back cover and found out that there is only 1 empty memory slot, does it mean that the 2Gb RAM is built-in in the motherboard? If for example I add additional 8Gb RAM, it will sum up to 10Gb total RAM?  I hope there is somebody who can answer my question. Thank you in advance!

    It supports ddr3L memory, 1600mhz, 1.35v, 260-pin sodimm! However, if your notebook does not have onboard ram memory, it can be expanded to 8GB! If you have 2GB ram onboard memory, you can expand to 6GB ram:

    Now you could think of the possibility of buying a ssd of 2.5 "SATA III and put in place of the original hd!

    Yes, you should be able to replace the 2.5" HDD with up to a 2TB 2.5" SSD without issue. And you can add an 8GB DDR3 laptop module 1600MHz or faster but the BIOS should only recognize 8GB, not 10GB. Jack E/NJ

    Thanks for the quick reply. When i checked with CPU-Z.why there is not enough info on my memory and SPD tab?

    cpuz SPD is looking at the empty replaceable RAM socket, not the soldered RAM. There's nothing in the socket yet.  Jack E/NJ

    Thanks. I found this info on previous thread here. They said max ram is 8Gb and since the built-in 2Gb is not removable, the maximum to be added is 4Gb? Is this applies also to my laptop?

    I already made the upgrades, I install Kingston 480GB SSD and use Macrium Reflect as disk cloning software without problem. As for the RAM, I decided to install Crucial 8GB ddr3l sodimm, the total RAM now of my laptop is 10GB, the newly installed RAM adds to the soldered 2GB RAM.
