The Acer Aspire Lite 14 AL14-51M with an Intel i3-1215U processor supports a maximum RAM of 16GB. This can be achieved by installing two 8GB DDR5 RAM sticks. For optimal performance in dual-channel mode, both RAM sticks must have the same specifications, including capacity, frequency, CAS latency (CL), Size, DDR5 and voltage.

On the SSD side, the laptop originally comes with a 256GB SSD, which is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe drive capable of speeds up to 8Gb/s using up to four lanes. You can replace this SSD with a larger capacity drive, such as 1TB, without voiding the warranty. The warranty will only be voided if there is a warranty void sticker blocking access to screws, removing it could potentially void the warranty. However, the warranty will only be voided if you remove this sticker. If it is not present then you can upgrade it easily and just make sure you don't damage any component while upgrading.

Hi, The Acer Aspire Lite AL14-51M has one RAM slot that supports up to 16GB of DDR5 RAM. It comes with 1 PCIe 4x4 M.2 slot that supports a Gen4 NVMe SSD up to 1TB. There are models reported with 2 RAM slots that would support 2x8GB DDR5, but I am not sure about that.

The below System Memory table is the memory specs of the Aspire Lite 14 AL14-51M laptop as per its service guide and it supports a max of 16GB ram of DDR5-4800MT/s type ram.

With its M.2 SSD PCIe 4x4 drive upgrade, be aware that it takes expertise to open the back cover so be very careful when you open the back cover to gain access inside the laptop and to the M.2 SSD drive, as its very easy to scratch the case and damage the bottom cover if you use the wrong tools.

I've included the SGs guide of how to open the lower-case cover for your information, so be very careful not to scratch, damage the laptops lower case. Good luck and hope this helps you out further.
