Aspire 15 A514-55 Could I replace the 4gb with a 16gb SODIMM and get 20gb max?

Sunni

Just had a question about this model before I purchase. The specs are listed as coming with 8gb, but maximum installable RAM is 12gb. I assume there's 4gb soldered on the board, and a 4gb SODIMM. Could I replace the 4gb with a 16gb SODIMM and get 20gb max?

If so, wonder why Acer specify max 12gb?

Thanks n

Hi,

This model comes with 4GB or 8GB onboard memory, you can upgrade to either 20 or 24GB depending on the onboard memory, so yes, if you have 4GB onboard memory, you can install a 16GB module to make the total memory of 20GB, if you have 8GB onboard memory you can install 16GB and make the maximum total memory of 24GB.
