My HP laptop died, the integrated GPU died. And HP support said they do not manufacture that motherboard anymore. So what's the point of having it upgradable? Sometimes it works, other times not.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoIt's always been the case with laptops that if the mainboard or some part ON the main board died, well, that's that. But being able to upgrade RAM, HDD or wifi was always great so you could eek a couple more years from it. People who want upgrade-ability aren't wrong for wanting to buck the throw away society we've become.
- GoToRO 8y agoI choose upgrade-ability too, it's just that I was shorted by HP choosing bad quality and lack of spares. I flipped the coin and I lost it seems.
- everyone 8y ago"HP support said they do not manufacture that motherboard anymore" You can probably still buy one of those mobos and swap it out. Just look on ebay.
