Greetings
The RAM on the GWNC31514 can not be upgraded because it is built in to the motherboard. If any additional help is required with our products, please reach out to us via chat on www.gatewayusa.
Thank you for choosing Gateway.
Edit: And check that the battery life is long enough. Does it need to make it through an school day? Or just until it can be plugged in somewhere? I have two old laptops that originally came with win8 on them that I still use occasionally and the batteries were never good. Maybe worked a couple hours on battery before quitting. Most computers will last at least four hours or so today, but many will go much longer.
The more boxes you check off from the above, the longer that computer remains usable and out of a landfill.
Another edit: look for FHD screens with IPS panels. And if you're shopping on SD exclusively you'll see people talking about all these things very early in the thread. They'll say stuff like "250 nits, meh!" Or "TN panel in 2022!?" Or "4gb ram, can it even open teh tabs?!" If you see a lot of thumbs up going on and people noting that it's checking off the spec boxes you care about, pull the trigger before it's gone.

Aim higher. There is another gateway deal on there for 300 that is light years better than this. And it's still not great.

I mean if you're going to go barebones linux needs just buy a used Dell for $100. But yeah you should be able to load whatever you want IF you can turn off secure boot and TPM security in BIOS. Which... isn't a guarantee on something like this.
Actually, you would be surprised at how usable 4GB can be when implemented with pagefile on an average m2 or sata ssd. I have the acer $193 deal and that comes with 4GB ram and 128GB. and i didn't upgrade the ram at all. And my parents are merrily using it without problem for basic tasks. The overall experience is much better than what it used to be with page file on an old hdd. Just make sure you let windows do the space clean up after each update so it doesn't keep taking up space on the ssd.
I am almost quite sure that this has m2 sata and not emmc ssd
But then again, if you have the $193 acer alternative for only $20 more that has a proper sodimm slot and just overall better, then why bother with this?
