Hi,

A problem I have been coming up against is that a lot of the newer, budget Windows laptop (which I will immediately replace with my distribution of choice upon receipt) have memory soldered on the motherboard. This is a decision which brings the utmost distate to my mouth; I’m looking for budget laptops around the $300 mark (new) that let me upgrade their parts. Which models should I be looking at?

I am aware that the used market is fairly decent right now but I’d like to take a look at what’s coming up alongside looking at used gear. Thanks.

    Used business/enterprise stuff is generally decent, HP Elitebooks, Lenovo Thinkpads, etc…

    Notebookcheck.net has an incredible search tool and they’ll have info about how difficult it is to open up and what items can be replaced.
