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.

IMO:
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.

Received it last night (fast shipping via Fedex), ran setup (no option to go to win 11 tho), updated with all latest drivers and win 10 updates which took awhile, ran disk cleanup and removed unnecessary apps, backed up with macrium reflect free on USB. roughly took an hour or so. Ran update routine again said it was compatible with win 11 and in pipeline to be on the win 11 update but is not ready yet...no option to download it? Pleased overall with it esp for the $$ spent. Pretty fast and super quiet! Any suggestions on upgrading to windows 11?

You can download Windows directly from Microsoft.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../windows11

I'm not sure which way may work for you. Maybe the ISO** can be used for an upgrade. Before doing anything you might want to try to extract your current Windows 10 license key* just in case something goes wrong. However, if you're signed in with a Microsoft account this probably isn't necessary.

* Supposedly you can run as Administrator:
Code:
wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey
** Ventoy [ventoy.net] is a great way to boot ISO's off a USB stick if you need such a thing. I know it works on this machine.

Like the guy said it'll come but I THINK it was faster on 10 though. I just remember programs would open in the blink of an eye but on 11 it seems to take 2 blinks. You'll have 10 days to go back to 10 once you install 11
