I miss the days where you could upgrade your laptop. I had a dell back in 2010, that I updated its ram and wifi card. Which gave me a budget to update my home wifi also with an extended drive. So the money I would of spent on a new laptop I ended upgrading my home network and speeding up my laptop. True freedom to do what you want with your tech.

- zamadatix 3y agoThey, particularly Dell, have never stopped making laptops with upgradeable storage, RAM, and Wi-Fi - hence Dell being the first ones mentioned using this new module in the article. If you self select to a model with a few mm less thickness instead that's your choice of trade off and it's really more freedom to do what you want instead of less. Here's a random modern mid-range Dell with swappable m.2 storage, 2.5" SATA storage, m.2 Wi-Fi slot, and battery https://www.newegg.com/black-dell-inspiron-3520-mainstream/p/1TS-000A-0W9J3?Item=9SIAE4NJSE9047 https://www.newegg.com/black-dell-inspiron-3520-mainstream/p.... If you're more adventurous you can often upgrade the screen as well but only like part replacement is intended for that. This isn't unique to the mid price range or Dell or particularly rare. The main exception is modern MacBooks as there is only one provider for portable Macs and they went all in on integration (to some pros as well as the obvious cons).
- DonnyV 3y agoI stopped buying Dells years ago. The problem I was having with them was quality control. I got burned on a couple Dell purchases and just stopped buying them. I bought a MSI Stealth in 2014 and still have it. I've never had a problem with it. Great aluminum body build and top notch components.
