What you should do is order it, and when it comes in, look at the ram stick installed. There will be a brand name, and a model number/part number for the RAM stick in there. Just Google that, and usually you can find someone on Ebay selling that exact same thing for very little money. That way you have a (somewhat) matched pair, but only have to buy one.

Windows 10 is a plus at this time
SD and DVD drive are a plus
Here's a link to Acer for better info than eBay - https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/con....BH7AA.002
Yes, the 512GB storage is SSD of some kind, either SATA or NVMe.

Does anyone know if this comes standard with bluetooth?

It doesn't say so on the eBay listing page...but on the Acer product page it clearly says that it has Bluetooth.

Thanks.

I actually bought this last night--long before this thread was created. Was surprised to see it on SlickDeals.

I need a work PC that will allow me to have 10+ Chrome tabs, 4-5 Firefox tabs, Spotify, Slack, Zoom, etc all open at once.

The 10 year old laptop with an i5 and 4gb of RAM that I had in my closet didn't work well. Too laggy.

So I researched all the major websites, best buy, walmart, target, amazon, etc and I could not find a decent i5 with 16gb of RAM computer. I only found refurbished ones with older processors and DDR3 RAM.

I think this is a great deal for a work from home PC

However, I did buy two 8GB sticks of DDR4 3200 RAM on Amazon. 16GB of RAM should be enough to provide an efficient experience while working from home.

Any open slots for adding more memory and storage?

And does it use one of those proprietary motherboards that are a weird form factor?

I did some research before I bought one. It comes with 2 memory slots. From what the Acer forums were telling me....if you want to upgrade to 16GB they advise buying two sticks of 8GB RAM.

They said if I buy just one stick of 8GB RAM and attempt to use it side-by-side with the 8GB that's already installed—it could cause issues.

What I want to know:

1. Is the CPU upgradeable? And if so, what can I upgrade it to without having to buy an bigger power supply?

2. Are there better internal fan options that I can buy on Amazon that will provide better cooling?

Doubt it. This is only 3.9" wide, so unless you want an older graphics card it probably isn't going to work out.

I assume the (2) HDMI ports are v1.4 - I need HDMI 2.0 so it'll drive a 4K monitor @60hz. HDMI 2.0 ports should be standard these days.

Will the HDMI v1.4 drive a 32" curved 2560 x 1440 monitor?

If not, is there any easy and cheap fix for that?
