Great review. Thanks

Thank you very much! It helped me install an SSD into acer e 15.

I can confirm that you can install a low voltage 1.35V 8GB DDR3L RAM stick. Just did it today.

Just bought this today its great!!

good video

did you notice any improvement in the laptop after upgrading the ram ? because you are not using it in gaming or heavy apps , so that's why i'm asking

Can I upgrade the video card on that laptop? If so, would you make a video about it?

great review, very thorough!

Soooooooooooooo?

Thank you very much it's helpful video !

I could barely remove the battery thank you.

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement for the sata connector that's soldiered to the motherboard?

I wonder if a SATA 6 gb/s hard drive will run well in this machine. Does it have sata 6 gb/s capability?

Can you edit on this

Thanks! Excellent job!! Very informative!

Thank you for the video! I was able to install a SAN Disk ssd on a dell 15R laptop. My HDD didn't have a metal cage, but the ssd came with a spacer which I had to use to fit it in place. After installation, I got a Checking media (fail)" ON BOOT. Followed the following step to resolve it. Hope it helps someone facing the same issue. 1. Hit F2 right when the Dell Logo pops up. 2. Use your arrow keys to move to the tab named "Boot" 3. Select, with the arrow keys so that the text named "UEFI Boot" is White colored in font. 4. Navigate to the bottom, where it should say Windows Boot Manager 5. Hit F5 or 56, to move it up and down the list until you get the settings to be like: Windows Boot Manager UEFI Onboard LAN IPv4 UEFI Onboard LAN IPv6 6. Hit F10, and your system will reboot, without that annoying message showing up. Show less

What do you do if your laptop version has an actual disc drive as opposed to a place holder? Can it still be opened this way?

Very well shot and described. Acer & other companies that design their PC's like this should be ashamed for making it so difficult to replace simple components like RAM & hard drives.

Great video, can you grind brown rice too?

Very nice

Will this make it run faster?????/

EXCELLENT instructional video!!! I just bought an ES1-531-C6FQ, mainly because our old ACER bit the dust and this was the cheapest one I could find. But this is definitely a slow machine with Windows 10, so I'm going to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM. Thanks for the video, Rich.

To those who have upgrade from 4gb to 8gb, is there a noticeable improvement in performance?

Can it handle heavy softwares like Lumion and Sketchup?

I have es1 411. is it the same layout?

Excelent video! You saved my life! Lol. Thanks :)

i have an acer es1 511 N24, and It works well except its slow, and I'm thinking of replacing the hdd with an ssd, and I also want upgrade, the ram. ram+ssd total is 200$, I'm wondering if it's worth doing or should I just save up and buy a new laptop that works well

So would video editing softwares be easy to download and use with fast with this computer i really need a computer like this but i need to be able to edit videos on it.

Amazing review!!! Thanks!

his laugh is hilarious! lol thanks for the review!

will this work on an Acer Aspire ES1-531?

What's the keyboard like?

Rich Reveiws, I am buying the es 15. can it upgrade like the e15?

is this a gaming labtop

Do you time your steeping, if so how long?

should we do data backup before hand?

is this good for the sims 3?

Great video. What a pain - Why couldn't Acer just make it with a separate for for the memory slot. I woukd not ahve purchased this one if had know before hand (terribel access).

+Rich Reviews hey i got the same model 2 years ago but i recently got overwatch, it runs well but can it run even better? since overwatch requires at least a core i3 or i5 (idk) and 4GB RAM to Run. could it run on an Intel Celeron Processor N2830 with 8 GB RAM and that SSD, could this computer run even better than a core i3 laptop with these specs? its that i got it 2 years ago when i was 13 years old (lol im 15 and already a computer geek XD) and i wasn't such a computer geek 2 years ago and i bought it blindly, and i noticed my mistake and desided to start learning about computers and there processors, Hard Drives, RAMs, stuff like that. since now i found this video and the other video, this pc will finally get the upgrade i wanted thanks X3 Btw i'd like to thank my dad for helping me learn these things lol

I have a similar laptop like this but the ES1-531 series with the Pentium n3700 quad core Braswell cpu. What are your load times on the SSD? I recently upgrade my 1TB HDD to a 256GB Samsung PM810/470 Series SSD and the load times are so good. 12 seconds from a cold boot and 3 seconds from awake from sleep. 260MB Read and 250 Writes on 4K alignment is so darn good. SATAII though so it's max at 300MB/s Theoretical speeds :/ I wish I can upgrade to sata III 6gbps to get that juicy 500-600MB SSD's

could you make a video on how to install a CD drive into the placeholder spot?

Thanks for your video... I ran into a few roadblocks... some of the connectors flipped up instead of having those slider releases, but I figured it out and got it back together and it worked perfectly. Thanks again.

Thank you very much :)

This looks similar to my laptop But the only problem is its a Aspire ES1-521 will it still work for mine do?

thnkx bro you really help me cheers

Well Done! Great Videos. I watched your video on the SSD previously, now I have a good idea how to update both. Thanks for posting these :)

it worked for me thanks

wrong, wrong, wrong, you need to use guitar picks or credit cards to separate the case.

is it possible for this to go to 16gb once upgraded to win10

i have this one can i do the same upgrade Acer Aspire ES1-431-C94W
