  Hi,

  You can upgrade the memory up to 32GB, use CPU-z to find out the specs of your current RAM module and get another module to match the specs. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

  You need DDR4 2133/2400.

  https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC4-19200-SODIMM-260-Pin-CT8G4SFS824A/dp/B01BIWKP58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501598204&sr=8-1&keywords=ddr4+sodimm+8gb

  https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-17000-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B015HQ9TGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501598322&sr=8-1&keywords=ddr4+sodimm+8gb+2133

  These are only for example, you can buy any brand of your choice but make sure the specs match in both modules.

  Sir, i have bought this unit with 4gb DDR4, as you said it can hold up 32gb of ram, does it mean it can use all of 32gb ram in case i upgrade it with 2 16gb memory cards? i’m going to use this for AutoCAD applications, Rendering and gaming also. i’m just curious because i went to a shop telling me that some laptops wont be able to use all of it in case. can you also suggest me a cheaper brand which is compatible to this laptop that i can buy? thank you

  Hi guys. I have the same laptop. Acer VX 15... At this moment there is one memory module and it is an Kingston DDR4 2400 8gb stick. It is some OEM type, and i have problems find the exact same model to add in my notebook (Kingston ACR24D4S7S8MB-8 8 GB DDR4-2400 DDR4 SDRAM  cl17). So im wondering, if adding another one from Kingston with same specs, but different type name will make em work in dual channel mode (Kingston KCP424SS8/8).
  
  And second part of my question is, if better modules with cl 14 would run, or how can i check compatibility? Cause the second option in my mind is getting rid of the memory curently installed and buying the kit of Kingston hyperX, but they are cl 14 (https://www.hyperxgaming.com/en/memory/impact-ddr4?Speed=2400MHz&Module Capacity=8GB&Total (Kit) Capacity=16GB&Kit=Kit of 2)
  
  I mainly care about running the modules in DUAL CHANNEL. Increasing the capacity is not that important for me, as I havent faced any issues running 8gb yet. 
  
  Which one of these options would you recommend? 
  
  Thanks a lot.

  Hi,
  I would suggest you to go for the Kingston value ram or the one in your link( KCP424SS8/8), hyperX memory are mainly suitable for high end gaming laptops and are a bit pricey. So I prefer the cheaper value RAM.

  Hi guys! Im traveling to the US on the 15th (April) and i wanted to buy RAM for my Acer. Here in Argentina it is super overpriced and hard to find if it is a not that common model. I have the Acer Aspire VX15 (VX5-591G-74UK), it comes with 12GB RAM.
  
  I will put some info i got from CPU-Z:
  
  
  Wich RAM's do you guys think i should buy? I would really apreciate some options (even better with amazon links) because i don't know much about RAM memory and i don't want to purchase it wrong, as i said i may not have another oportunity to buy this for some years. 
  
  Another thing is my screen broke, i read about this being a normal problem with this ACER model, i read this post about it, because it is my same problem:
  https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/545469/acer-aspire-vx-15-hinge-broken
   
  Do you guys reckon i should buy some things over there to fix it? Here i will not be able to find any replacement parts!
  
  Thanks for all!
