Does this version have the detachable bottom for replacing the ram?

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

Yes, we did add extra ram...note the total memory cannot exceed 4megs . Hope this helps!

It depends on placement. You must remember that this is a mount that you'd attach the "factory" bracket/mount that goes with unit to. So if you can easily detach the unit from the factory bracket now, then it should not be a problem with the Ram Mount. And as long the large tightening knob on the Ram Mount is accessible (it can be spun 360 degrees to face any direction) then everything except the bottom ball can be removed without tools.

Yes, this is the older [black case] model. It is the newer [white case model] that has no external memory slot.

No chance of swapping the ram, that is soldered to the board. You can if you are extremely motivated change the SSD (NGFF, M.2), good luck finding one though, they are as of April 2014 only available to manufacturers...

Sadly no it isnt (soldered on to the main board). Tinkering with the RAM would invalidate the warranty as Acer dont regard it as a "user serviceable part"

No. It has 2x4gbmax ddr3 ports. ddr2 won't even fit, ive tried out of curiosity.

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

This model has no replaceable battery neither easy access to RAM modules.The case has to be open if you need to upgrade RAM or replace battery.

Yes, there are ten screws to remove the cover. I recommend looking at a you- tube video first to see the process. Once opened, you can see where the memory chip fits. It only goes in one way; line up the slot and then lock it down. Check the computer system before closing to see if it recognizes the new memory.

no just unscrew the bottom of it and take out the memory and put the new one. Its very easy if you need help there is lots of videos on youtube on how to replace them

Nope. However you can find excellent disassembly-reassembly instructions in YouTube. Some hardware handling skills are required as there are few micro connectors that can't be just force pulled out. As a Mac Service agent I found this part really durable and an exactly "drop-in" replacement part.

Thank you for your emailWe use Kingston ddr3. When you get a PC you may remove it and it has exact part number written on it

1 RAM module is SOLDERED on board 1 RAM module is user replaceable. Removing the bottom cover exposes the RAM module that can replaced, the Hard Disc Drive, WAN/BT card and internal battery. The BATTERY is NOT hot swapable and CAN be replaced by those skilled in computers and electronics. There is no CONSUMER battery sold for this model. You would have to go to a PC parts supplier. The internal battery is a Lithium Polymer battery with an expected shelf life of 3 years before degradation.

Doesnt look like it, looking at crucial website http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Tecra%20A5&Cat;=RAM

No. It is the RAM 1" diameter standard. You need to use it with RAM mounting devices.

Not in mine. I needed to remove my older memory sticks. They have to be inserted as a pair.
