the other answer is correct, HOWEVER, you need to know which board/chipset is installed on the model you have. Acer used both specs on the model V5, it just depends on what you have under the hood!

on the under side of the Notebook, there is a tag with the model V5-571-XXX, use that and you can check through the website below too!

if brans new, you should have the factory installed App named " UPDATER " this will help more than anything, due to the fact, that, it know what you have installed, from Acer, and will check for any updates, for any/all installed options!

hope that helps
