Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R14K - How to upgrade SSD & Ram // Best Budget Laptop

Acer Aspire 5 A515-46-R14K Laptop (AMD Ryzen 3 3350)
Acer Aspire 5 A515-56-50RS Laptop (Intel 11th Gen)

I am showing you why I think the Acer Aspire 5 with the AMD Ryzen 3 3350 Chipset is so good. You can upgrade it to 20GB ram, 1.2 TB of SSD in 5 minutes with the bay and screws they provide you in the box!
My laptop is about 380 USD while this version below is 750! I dont need all that processor but I want to be able to download movies, pictures, livestream, surf the web, watch movies in HD and light gaming. Now I can open chrome tabs galore while watching netflix while streaming it.

375-400 USD
AMD Ryzen 3 3350U - up to 3.5GHz for your high-demand applications
15.6" Full HD display with 82.58% screen-to-body, 16:9 aspect ratio and narrow bezels
Backlit Keyboard and Fingerprint Reader:
Internal Specifications: 4GB DDR4 on-board memory (1 slot available); 128GB NVMe solid-state drive storage (1 hard drive bay available)

800 USD (same screen! just faster processor)
Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop, 15.6" Full HD IPS Display, AMD Ryzen 7 3700U, RX Vega 10 Graphics, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 Home, A515-43-R6DE

I think it one of the best you can get for your money compared to the Asus, Lenovos, Dells, and even Apple Macs/Macbooks.
Cheers

In no case do not do this . First, de - energize the motherboard . Remember the following: de-energize the board is the first rule . Patience and accuracy .🙂

[johnprocyk]

Thanks. You're the only one who says to take that screw out. I puzzled over that for a long time. The Acer videos and written instructions don't mention it. I thought something must be wrong until I saw this video. You can't connect the cable otherwise.

thanks dude ill get this for my mom for charismas, i already got her a desktop before but it was my old pc with a 950 and a ryzen 1300x works great but she does need to carry her work on her phone a lot so im thinking of getting this with 2 ssd and the ram and who knows i may even get one for my brother too later

I like the StreamBeats music. Gonna be scooping this laptop soon, hope to be able to use this to help!

[VerySadPanda-srwz]

Thank you for this quick and simple step by step. gives me more options

[simplekass]

Some of us weren’t able to get the Laptop brand new there for didn’t receiver the ribbon cable, screws, or enclosure. Any links to those available at all, if so would be helpful thanks in advance.

Quick question though, can we upgrade the CPUs on the ACER ASPIRE 5 Laptops? hope u can notice this comment.

[Tilinista]

hmmm i have some questions, i’m planning to recycle the drive and ram of my old laptop into my acer aspire a515 but i’ve never done this before i don’t know if doing this could harm my laptop i’m not an expert in this, here’s the specifications: hard drive, toshiba mq01abd032 and the ram hynix 2gb 1rx8 pc3-12800s-11-11-b2

[brianfinley]

Okay, I'm totally confused. What exactly do you call the thingie you installed? Is that something I can get on Amazon, or do I need to get that from Acer?

WARNING for people wanting to upgrade SSD: I added a SATA SSD as shown in the video but it's still frustrating. Certain programs and tasks refuse to function on a secondary drive and it becomes confusing to manage. I've now purchased an nvme SSD to replace the original drive but not sure how to install.

Do you have dual channel when installing a 16GB stick? Or do you only have dual channel with another 4GB stick?

Thanks for this content I just ordered one for my wife and I see the links in past comments prescient

What are the RAM spec's? DDR4 - 3200? Something else? The device itself does not SAY in Windows 11.
Cheers!

Great video my bratha. My son has acer aspire 5 a515-46-r14k. Wanted to know what parts I should get to upgrade for him.

What ram did you add to to the laptop? I don’t really know much abt ram I just want most performance for games. also if it’s not the best one as of 2023 what is good ram to get?

[toobsmyaan]

Will just upgrading the ram still improve laptops performance?

[CapnCavMan]

This is driving me crazy. I bought this refurbished so kit was NOT included in the box. Can someone just please post where I can buy the cable to connect my SSD? Thank you.

[aquila]

my laptop came without the bay accesories, do you know where I can buy something. I have the same model so I really need to add more storage and already bought the ssd but the laptop arrived without the bay or things I need to connect the ssd to the motherboard :/

[arkdesignsTT]

where is the soldered ram located? would have loved to see that in the video. Overal nice video bud

I purchased my ACER Aspire 5 A515-46-R3CZ laptop in AMAZON and as advertised it has an 8Gb DDR4 3200 MHz RAM, but when I go to Task Manager>Performance> Memory, it says 2400MHz SODIMM...???...and resolving this discrepancy is even more important now since I want to purchase an additional 16 Gb RAM...pls kindly advise
