FAQ about Acer Aspire 3 A315-51-380T RAM
Can I upgrade the RAM in my Acer A315-51-380T?
Yes, but only partially. This laptop has 2 memory slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be changed.
What's the maximum RAM I can have in this laptop?
The maximum total is 20GB. Since one slot has fixed memory (likely 4GB soldered), you can add up to 16GB in the accessible slot to reach that 20GB total.
What speed RAM should I get?
2666MHz (also labeled as PC4-21300) is the recommended speed. The laptop might accept faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2666MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
How many RAM sticks can I add?
Just one. There's only one upgradeable slot available, so you'll be adding a single memory module.
