The Acer Aspire R7-571-6858 is a convertible laptop that features an Intel Core i5 3337U processor and weighs about 5.29 lbs. This guide aims to show you how to upgrade the RAM chip in the Acer Aspire R7 so you can get more memory for your device. Depending on how much memory you want to add you will need at the most 8GB of RAM specifically 8GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM.

The steps to change the RAM chip in an Acer Aspire R7 laptop is like any other laptop. Nearly all laptops are designed with an access panel in the bottom of the laptop. To open the panel, it is necessary to have a small-ended screwdriver. Make sure you are working on a clean surface to prevent any dust inside the panel. Before you start, make sure to unplug any cables connected to the laptop and power it down.
