4gb is soldered in the other slot is available, claimed support for 16gb so officially max 20gb with a 4gb +16gb. Better than the Dell which has both 4gb dimms soldered in.

I like that it's got 3 usb-a ports and a usb-c port, and the rj45 is important to me. It looks good too.

I have the HP from costco 2 years ago with the i5-1035g4 and the fan is Loud! My wife has a MS Surface book v3 with the 1065-g7 and it's equally loud. All these thin laptops are annoyingly loud. I am guessing by the looks of this laptop it's gonna be loud too. I hate apple but I am envious of that M1 chip. Hopefully we will see something similar to the M1 for PCs soon.
agreed, seems like a solid midrange laptop. just recommended it to a family member for grad school. i feel better recommending something like this as opposed to those cheaply built $300 walmart laptops (evoo, gateway, etc), assuming budget allows.

Costco has a 14 inch Acer spin touchscreen model for $500
Ram is 8gb
Processor is i5-10th gen
256gb memory
Yes different model and different spec.
Just throwing out an option for light users
(Bought one for my parents as they only like touchscreen and wanted a smaller size)

The Aspire 5 and the Acer Swift 3 have both been rated best value and best all-around laptops respectively by a couple mags the past year.

Triple-check the specs on all Aspires though, as there was an Aspire 5 for $500 at Microcenter with similar specs recently that had a "ComfyView" TN screen (i.e. objectively looks like crap compared to IPS). This one explicitly says IPS though, so two thumbs up.

I'd say it's because $50 off a $620 laptop is not slick.

Is it easy to upgrade the Ram on your own with this model?

Since the memory controller is in the CPU, that upgradeable slot will work with a 32GB DIMM. It may "officially" be validated/tested with a 16, but the 32 should work too for a total of 32+4=36GB. For anyone who cares.
