thanks!

no reason to still have a reddit account now

though if you want an reddit account I might have a few left and I can give it to you if you want

Is this post off-topic?

that explains it in general, thanks.

As for why would a company do this - to prevent fraud and abuse. If a customer signs up and uses a stolen credit card, who do you think is on the hook for that loss? Not the victim, not the bank - us.

I really thought the victim is the one on the hook for that loss, since the money cannot be send back

I’ll reiterate that Stripe did not arbitrarily force that on you, Racknerd did.

Why would any company put this on their customer if they have an option? Does it mean government and policy force the company to use stripe to verify their customers?

this no shitpost?

thanks!

thanks a lot!

Yes I would really need 1Tb SSD and 32GB RAM

oh I see, thanks!

How accessible are those components? How accessible are they for you? Most laptops these days require some specialized opening tools and a lot of care. It may not be something you can reasonably do on your own.

I’ve done some research, and I would say it’s fairly easy to replace the SSD and RAM myself.

In either case, as of right now, I’d say buy on both. Later upgrades are not going to be cheap for a while.

Thanks. I understand RAM is expensive, but does that also apply to SSDs?

So are you saying the $150 16 GB RAM is cheap? because RAM nowadays are very expensive?

I’d also appreciate any recommendations on where to buy the cheapest RAM and SSD.

Also, is it worth paying $150 to upgrade from the included 16 GB DDR5-5600 MT/s (SODIMM) to 32 GB (2 × 16 GB) when buying the laptop?

Is it worth paying 90 AUD to upgrade the laptop’s 512 GB M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC SSD to 1 TB, or would it be better to buy a 1 TB SSD myself and and save the 512 GB for future use?

Thank you so much, sorry it’s taken so long to reply. I still haven’t had the time, but I will take a closer look when I get the chance.
