If Acer can fit 2 SODIMM slots AND 2 2280 m.2 slots in a 14" class laptop WITH a dGPU, nobody else has any excuses anymore.
I don't see what would justify the AI suffix in the product name:
- Only 16 GB VRAM (at least its upgradable, but this doesn't count)
- Only 8 GB VRAM
Nothing is special about this memory config, in fact this is quite low.
I guess it's the "AI 5 340' CPU' NPU, which nobody uses, ok.
Up to how many GB RAM can it be upgraded to? I don't thing it's 96 GB, but if it is, then the "AI" in the name would be justified.
This is actually so stupid..if at least it had something that would justify the AI in the name.
PS: It weights like 200-300 grams too many for a 14" laptop.
"nano" was abused, now "AI", tomorrow "God" in the names (combined with Pro X Plus Max Ultra, of course).

I can forgive an extra half pound in exchange for it having a dGPU and great battery life.

Oh..right..the iGPU ones are 200-300g less, not the ones with a dGPU. Then the extra weight is absolutely fine and expected.

think* (I did indeed not think in that very moment :-D)
Ok, first it is a 14.5" platform and NOT a 14" platform. :)
Seriously though, 2 SIM & M.2 slots AND a dGPU for < $1000USD?
Good luck finding a decent configuration at that price point.
(or ANY configuration!)
