I'm assuming the battery can be upgraded to a better one at a later time, since it's easily accessible when the back cover is removed.

(32GB should work), upgradable 2280 NVMe SSD, empty 2.5" HDD slot, beautiful screen, gigabit RJ45 port, lightweightCons: not so great battery life, no SD card reader, no USB-C port, cheap speakers, air intake at the bottom

I upgraded mine adding 4GB RAM and swapping the SSD with a 256GB SATA drive (thanks Acer for including the SATA bracket & cable).For the tech saavy: it has the WD SN520 128GB NVMe SSD, QCNFA344A 2x2 ac WiFi, ELAN trackpad w/ Windows Precision Touchpad support, and a 48Wh battery

Battery Saver On and lowest Screen Brightness level

The battery is good, too.

I found that the battery is good for almost 3 hours and charges very quickly

It works great with Linux as long as you stick with the latest kernels, the stock Debian/buster 4.19 kernel had some issues, but it works perfectly with the 5.2 kernel
