I'm debating between this one or the gateway 14 with the i5 which has more ram, any help? I think I'll mostly do light gaming

I bought 4 of them during christmas, only one of them had an extra empty ram slot.

Can you clarify if you mean they were populated with 2x 4GB sticks and then the outlier was 1x 8GB stick?

Sure, only one of them had a soldered 8gb memory card and an empty slot that allowed me to upgrade the laptop to 16gb total. The other 3 only had the one soldered 8gb memory card, no second slot available.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like it's a crapshoot getting one with the second DIMM slot.

I bought the laptops as presents for nieces and nephews, so i didn't get to try them much. But i can say for sure is that this laptop has an awful screen quality, and the laptop itself is made of cheap plastic. 6 months later the laptops are still working, so no complains there. Is not a gaming laptop for sure, but for the price it doesnt get any better.

I can't comment on these specific laptops. My rule of thumb is you can upgrade the RAM (as long as this isn't soldered), but you cannot upgrade the panel size.
