several laptop brands are relatively easy to upgrade things like ram and storage. lenovo, dell, and system76 come to mind. i've got an old dell i've been keeping long past its shelf life with some judicious replacement parts and upgrades. i haven't used the frame work laptops, but those are intended to be more or less completely modular.
What's up with ThinkPad? I hear people talk about those too.
Those were the bees knees a decade ago but not any more. They used to be extremely durable, upgradable and cheap to find used because businesses would buy them in bulk. There was a whole scene around maintaining them. But now they're just another laptop with a certain aesthetic. Still a good laptop but not the same.
good to know, that's probably the last time i touched one
yeah those are a lenovo brand, very durable
How do MSI's fare in terms of upgradability? I might throw some more ram and a bigger SSD in one of these days.
i'm not terribly familiar but anything with dimm slots for ram and pcie slots for ssd like at least some of their models are probably going to be pretty easy to swap out for new ones
