Do you know if the laptop comes with a single 16 GB stick of RAM or 2 sticks of 8 GB? Thanks.

Just know, that AllState warranty kind of sucks. If you look up Reddit reviews, experiences are all over the place. Your best case scenario is they just reimburse you the cash.

As to the laptop, this is a nice deal. RAM needs to be upgraded to 24GB or 32GB to ensure it won't be starved for memory in newer games, but it's supposed to be equipped with SODIMMs, so the only thing holding you back are high RAM prices. It seems it's a coin-flip if these come with 2x8GB SODIMMs, or 1x16GB. If you're lucky, it'll be 1x16GB, so all you need to go to 32GB is another similarly matched 16GB SODIMM.

Overall, it's nice if you need a reasonably priced gaming laptop.

"Often configured as 1x16GB or 2x8GB depending on the exact regional sub-model." - Looks like a coin flip according to Reddit.

With refurbished models, it will indeed be hard to tell unless someone else has purchased one of these from Acer via their eBay store recently. I've found Acer often uses whatever available SODIMMs they have on hand to get the model up to 16GB before shipping.

They normally have the 32 gig 5070ti version of this for under $1300. I bought one and love it, but just note that this is the slim form factor of this laptop so the GPU wattage is limited (at least in the 5070ti, not sure about this 5060) and it gets pretty hot.

Edit: Looks like this has a different screen, too. The 5070ti version has a 240hz OLED.

I have a 32GB version of this and have had to ship it back 3 times for repairs. Each time they have replaced the NVMe SSD. I highly recommend buying the extended warranty from Acer. https://store.acer.com/en-us/acer...vice-plans

It goes in and out of stock pretty often. They recently had it for $1275 but looks like it's up to $1301. Still a solid deal. Mine has been flawless after about a month of use so far.
