FAQ about Acer Aspire 3 A315-53-578V RAM
What's the maximum RAM I can put in the Acer A315-53-578V?
You can upgrade to a maximum of 20GB total. The laptop has 4GB soldered on the motherboard that can't be removed, plus one upgradeable slot that supports up to 16GB.
How many RAM slots does this laptop have?
Just one slot that you can access. There's also 4GB permanently attached to the motherboard, which is why the max is 20GB (4GB fixed + 16GB in the slot).
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You'll need DDR4 SODIMM memory - that's the smaller laptop-sized RAM, not the full-size desktop sticks. Make sure it's DDR4, not the older DDR3 or newer DDR5.
What speed RAM should I get?
Go with 2666MHz DDR4 (also labeled as PC4-21300). The laptop might work with faster RAM, but it'll just run at 2666MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
Can I remove the existing 4GB and replace it?
No, the 4GB is soldered directly to the motherboard. You can only add to it using the single available slot. Whatever you install will work alongside that fixed 4GB.
Will any DDR4 SODIMM work in this laptop?
As long as it's DDR4 SODIMM and 16GB or less, it should work fine. Stick with standard voltage (1.2V) modules. The 2666MHz speed is recommended but most DDR4 speeds will work - they'll just run at 2666MHz max.
