Been waiting on a good laptop deal (below $400) for my niece who's starting college soon. I can't find many reviews about this one?

Is this the one to buy? Any thoughts?

I felt like this really could be a great deal at this price with the CPU and nice screen (and color gamut), if only the RAM was upgradable. There's a comment from acer that the RAM is not upgradable, but that's a hit or miss on accuracy. Hard to find much on this particular laptop. I did find a youtube video on the 15" model. Looks like prior models had upgradable RAM and then they moved to soldered RAM with this generation. Very unfortunate.

Man I really don't like these 15" laptops having the 10 key on the side of the keyboard. It always messes up the alignment with trackpad or ends up being too squished. Would work better on the 17" laptops imo.

The Vero lineup of Acer has always had soldered RAM. The previous generation with the 15.6" and 14" also had it.

You can tell it is soldered RAM by the type. Anytime you see LPDDR RAM it is always soldered.

Me neither I even got a 17" laptop without number pad LOL but those who use numeric keypad to enter numbers can't go without them, so, move along!

If this had an open ram slot to at least allow bumping to 16gb it would be beyond slick. A shame they handicapped this otherwise well spec'd laptop.

This is the laptop I keep going back to this week but this Aspire is really tempting me. The 8 gb is killing me but I'm trying to talk myself into it.

I could have sworn Microsoft required a minimum 16GB of RAM for their AI features, or at least for it to be advertised as an "AI PC".
