Is the ACER R-7 configureable? Can this be ordered or converted to 8 GB Memory? Is the Acer R-7 available with an i7 processor? If the i7 processor were available, would the i7 be a better selection over the i5, or would this be a significant trade-off...

I think the max memory on this is 12GB which you'll have to do as an after mod. the i5 works fine on this.

There are many Acer Aspire One models, and they all vary in their hardware specifications and preinstalled operating system. The specific model of AO722-0473 comes with 2GB of RAM. You can easily upgrade to 4GB by removing the existing 2GB SODIMM and replacing it with a 4GB SODIMM.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

Hi Dean, as far as I know, this Ultrabook is limited to 4 gb. RAM. But anyway you can go to ACER website and check in a chat with support. They for sure will confirm you. To get the chat, you need at least a Serial Number for an Acer Laptop

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

The computer has two memory slots each one containing 4GB of memory. According to the specifications for this computer on the Acer web site 8GB of memory is the maximum amount of memory for this laptop. It comes with a one year limited warranty.

Sincerely I have never used that laptop in my life, and I'm not even sure that you can install this processor into a laptop, you should check with acer, what I can tell you is that this processor it's just beastly, have GPU integrated and it's incredible fast... If you can install this on your laptop, it's totally the best choice you can get

Hi MAni: Amazon sells SSDs that fit this laptop. You'll need a 7mm-height SSD (traditional 9.5mm-height drive will not fit). Samsung, Kingston, Crucial and others sell SSDs of this size.As for whether you can replace yourself, the answer is yes, but you may want someone to help you if you haven't upgraded PC or laptop components before (plus upgrading components technically violates most warranties so caveat emptor). If you search YT for "upgrade SSD on acer v5-171", you'll find a video in that walks through the mechanics. The video is in Japanese, but this isn't particularly important since everything is demonstrated.I hope this helped!--JT Review Hi MAni: Amazon sells SSDs that fit this laptop.

This is a great computer. My HP was loaded with Windows 7. The RAM is expandable, but it runs so fast I have not needed to add any. Best of luck in making your selection!

I have both, an ASUS I5 with 6 GB of RAM and an ASUS I7 originally with 4 GB of RAM and now with 12 GB RAM. Both the I5 and the I7 will serve your purpose. I don't really see an improvement with the additional 8 GB RAM in the I7 other than some of my applications in MS Office opening faster. I rarely use the touch screen.

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

Ultrabooks cannot be upgraded in RAMs.Best bet would be to buy a 8GB RAM Ultrabook.The best way to get an answer to your question would be to contact the manufacturer?

The acer you have has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. The computer comes with an "onboard" 512 that is soldered to the MB - and it doesn't look like ordinary ram sticks. Also there is only one Memory slot. If you wish to speed it up, I would add a 1 GB stick of ddr 667 (PC2-5300). If it is still running Vista, get someone to upgrade it to Windows 7 for you, remove all hog software (Norton and McAfee are hogs) use Avast or AVG for virus protection. Hope this helps

Very few laptops have a cpu that can be changed. If yours does then look at an i7 if the main board can support it. Changing out an i5 to another i5 isn't going to give you a big enough bump for the hassle of making the change. Hope this helps....

Chris, Did you upgrade your 32bit Vista (1410 with Core2 Solo) to 64bit Windows 7? I am thinking of doing the same thing (if I can get 64bit OS from Acer), so did you do a clean install? Thanks for any feedback.
