Hi I have the specs as depicted below. Noob here, not sure what is relevant, feel free to explain in baby steps at me  :)

I want to replace the non-fixed RAM slot with 8GB or 16GB (pretty sure it has 4GB soldered). Will these do the job?

Crucial 16GB DDR4 2400 SODIMM 1.2V (1x16GB) - Umart.com.au
Crucial 8GB DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) CL17 SR x8 Unbuffered SODIMM 260pin Single Ranked - Umart.com.au

Have seen in other responses that Aspire 5 A515-51 needs CL= 15 (albeit in a 2133MHz context, maybe a diff model?)), whereas these are CL=17, and I seem to be 2400 MHz. I can't see the relevant CL value in my specs. Or is that the RAS# [etc] figure in the CPU-Z test? (slot #2 read as blank).

THANKS in advance.

    David_S, best is to do the Crucial® System Scanner as this scan will tell you the max ram that your laptop can have and all memory type options for every budget, also it will suggest ssd hard drives that are suitable for your laptop. Do this scan as its allot easier and quicker. Below is the Acer OEM memory specs:

    Just tried again, got a result: Crucial 16GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM

    Maybe turning off my adblocker helped.

    Many thanks, StevenGen      :)
