Hi, i recently was given a laptop and its an Acer which has 8 GB LPDDR5 and i want to upgrade it to 16GB. But i am not sure what memory to buy to go with this.

The computer is in this thread:

Again, i did not buy this it was given to me by a friend. I dont know much more about this computer as i dont actually have it in my hands at the moment.

If it has an available slot, then get a speed matching 8GB LPDDR5 SODIMM.

Download CPU-Z to get the specific speeds and timings of the memory.

Don't have to buy Crucial RAM, but it will give you an indication.



Also, since this is a used system, you really really really need to consider a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and everything else.
You have no idea what all the previous users may have stashed in there.

I checked Crucial's advisor, that particular model isn't listed, only the older DDR4 A3 models.
