Hello, I’m interested in buying an ACER 14 Chromebook CB3-431 on sale today at Lidl UK. CPU Intel Atom x5 E8000, the part number on Acer US site for the 4 GB version is NX.GC2AA.024.

My initial research is telling me that this particular model’s RAM (LPDDR3) is limited to 2GB. Can you please tell me if it is upgradeable or not?

If not, is 2GB enough to cope with videoconferencing (especially WhatsApp)?

My secondary questions please:

Can you use Facetime on Acer Chromebooks? And even Skype perhaps?

And is there a way to easily determine which of Acer’s Chromebooks’ RAM are upgradeable or not? I’m a non-techie, knowing nothing at all about Chromebooks….any good advice will be gratefully received!

Many thanks in advance :)

    About ram, it cannot be expanded, as this model has only onboard ram, unfortunately.
