FAQ about Acer Aspire 3 A315-23 [2.5-inch Drive] RAM

How many memory slots does the Acer A315-23 have?

Just one memory slot total. Since there's only a single slot, you'll need to replace the existing memory module if you want to upgrade.

What's the maximum RAM I can install in this laptop?

Maximum is 8GB. That's the ceiling for this model - can't go higher even if you find bigger modules.

What type of RAM do I need for the A315-23?

You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop DIMM.

What speed RAM should I get?

2400MHz (also labeled as PC4-19200) is the recommended speed. The system might accept faster RAM but it'll just run at 2400MHz anyway.

Can I add RAM without removing the existing module?

No, since there's only one slot. Whatever's in there now has to come out before you can put in the new module.

Will any DDR4 laptop memory work?

As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM at 2400MHz or faster, and 8GB or less, it should work fine. Just stick to standard voltage modules (1.2V).
