What is max ram capacity of PH18-72-93VM? Acer website says 32 installed, but no total capacity. Also, it lists storage capacity as 1000GB. Isn't there another slot to install more storage? Can't the existing storage that is in the 1000GB be upgraded?

    It can take 64 GB of RAM but i don't remember if will run at 5600MHz or 5200MHz (don't know if anyone tried more than 64 GB) , stay away from RAM with XMP profiles (it will go down at 4800MHz or not work at all) .
    As for the storage i don't think there`s a limit , but has 2x slots ( 1 supports only single-sided sticks , 2 looks like it has space for double-sided but i don't recommend it ) M.2 2280 .

    This is what I found. Not 100% sure as I haven't tested.

    https://www.phs-memory.com/computer-ram/acer/predator-helios-18/ph18-72/predator-helios-18-ph18-72-93vm.html

    https://www.compuram.biz/memory/acer/notebook/predator/helios-series/ph18-72/

    These 2 companies claims that it can handle 96GB. (2 x 48GB).

    Just some additional advice, the ram in the PH18-72 that has the i9-14900H operates on the DDR5-5600MT/s CL46 type memory and the Intel max memory designed for this cpu is 192GB. These laptops can operate on 96GB kits at 2x 48GB DDR5-5600MT/s CL46 type ram quite comfortably as these DDR5 ram kits are widely available, but I'm not 100% sure if there are any kits of 128 at 2x 64GB DDR5 ram modules or above that. Good luck and hope this helps you out further.

    Btw, read this community post HERE, as there is a community member that has upgraded his Predator Helios 3D 15 Spatiallabs Edition laptop that has the 13th Gen i9-13900HX cpu laptop to 96GB at 2x 48GB DDr5-5600MT/s CL46 but in his laptop the ram runs at 4800MT/s speed for some strange reason.

    Hello @Napercussion,
    The PH18-72-93VM supports up to 64GB DDR5 RAM, even though Acer lists 32GB as installed. For storage, it has two M.2 slots, so yes—you can upgrade the existing 1TB SSD or add another one for expansion. Just make sure to check SSD thickness compatibility for each slot.

    Best regards,
    Thomas Henry
