Maybe the mass lay-offs companies just cancelled thier orders on these laptops.
Acer just can't release them as new and crash the marktet and the retailers.
So refurbished.
What dictates the maximum amount of RAM is the memory controller on the CPU. i5-1235U laptop can take up to 36 GB of RAM, assuming 4 GB is soldered onto the board and there is a SO-DIMM slot, according to Intel themselves.
Acer says "20 GB maximum" likely because it's the maximum they've tested and validated but there is no reason that a 32 GB stick wouldn't work, assuming it is within specs.
