A:AnswerYes, this laptop has two memory slots that support up to 16GB each for a max total of 32GB system memory. Also it has two M.2 SSD's that support M.2 2280 form factor SSD drives. Acer has tested up to 512GB for the SSD drive.
A:AnswerThe included cable and bracket are so the user can install a 2.5" hdd for more storage, if needed. If you go to YouTube you will find videos on how to install a hard drive. This laptop comes with 8GB memory. If the game requires more, you can install up to 32GB using both memory slots.
A:AnswerWhile Acer does not test many gaming applications we would recommend you check that the computer meets the system requirements of the application/game to determine if it will work. You can also contact the software vendor to see if they can provide information on compatibility with their software. You might also post your question on the Acer Community where there are many users that post questions and offer help and advice on Acer products. The link is: https://community.acer.com/
A:AnswerThis laptop has an empty M.2 SSD slot where you can add a second SSD drive for storage, but does not have Thunderbolt 3. Acer has tested up to 512GB. The bottom case must be removed to access the slots and will not void the warranty as long as no damage occurs. Here is a video you might find helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT0MHnnWXuU
A:AnswerYes it will be able to run the game and Discord but for best results add another stick of RAM. I would advise that if you plan on buying this because 8GB of RAM isn't enough to seriously multi task with the installed hardware.
