This laptop can do LPDDR4 3200, potentially faster speeds but youd need to check with other buyers.
Hold the Fn key, and press the F9 key four times to turn the backlight off. Your keyboard backlight should dim each time you press the F9 key while holding FN.

Likely due to limitations of motherboard. The DDR4 information is through Acer.

Considered that one but for almost $100 more, this one is a better processor (12th gen i5 is bears the 11th gen i7 in almost every benchmark). The i7 has a slightly better gpu and higher ram, but lots of people may end up upgrading ram. I am not 100% sure if the i7 has thunderbolt, but I will be using an eGPU so it matters to some.
Don't think you can go wrong with either!
