Question Can't find motherboard specs...

[TimH77]

I have an ASUS notebook model R518U (Core i5 7200U) with 8GB of DDR4-2400 RAM and I'm looking to upgrade the RAM and the CPU, but I can't find specs.

Speccy says the motherboard is an an Asustek TP501UAK (U3E1) with 4 slots (one being used). I'm looking for the max RAM (GB+mhz) and possible CPU upgrades, as well as if the SSD installed is an M.2.

Pretty close to yours.

You already have the best processor available and it's likely only have one available RAM slot (one soldered and in use - 4GB) and one available for up to another 4GB (total 8GB) RAM.

What does Speccy state for your currently installed RAM?

Speccy says 4 RAM slots- 8GB of RAM in slot 1 and nothing in 2, 3, 4.

I wasn't sure but thought I might be able to go to an i7. RAM was my main concern but I figured if I could upgrade the CPU I'd do it at the same time.

It's really weird that neither on Asus, Crucial nor any other tech site model R518U comes up but it does come up on Amazon for sale.
