You should be able to throw in whatever DIMM you want in that slot.
The announce date on this model was 5/28/2021 so it's as fresh a laptop as you get.

Intel has an easily downloadable driver pack for AX200/AX201/AX210 wifi cards.
Here is the Spin - https://www.costco.com/acer-spin-...72591.html [costco.com]
I think the Lenovo is clearly better otherwise.

Keep in mind the 5500u is sort of a mash between Ryzen 4000 and Ryzen5000.
The CPU Cores are identical to the 4xxx series.
However, there have been come cache tweaks and other stuff to still boost it a little
This is true for the 5500u and 5700u.
The 5600u and 5800u also have the updated cores.
