I'll admit that even though the RAM is soldered on, the M.2 is very easy to get to and upgrade, and the battery is definitely easily swappable. All that with an OLED screen and a 12th gen i5 with two Thunderbolt 4 ports.... I'll really kinda take that over a MBA. Very much. I'm running this with the 8TB Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus. It's fantastic. 8TB is so nice to just be able to have at my disposal at PCIe Gen4 speeds.

Pls help i have the 15 1240p / 8gb ram out of box version

Question is, I can add another 8gb ram or 16gb ram appart from the original one ?
Or I need to replace the original one instead of adding another one ?

[drunkayylienz]

what a shame they've went with soldered RAM, 16GB just doesn't work for me anymore, otherwise they seem like such a cool laptops

[domm]

any idea how good the thermal paste is? would it benefit from re paste with better product?

[julianmorgan]

Would the Crucial T500 ssd be a good upgrade for this machine? Just wondering how noticeable it may be

[Samerawi]

The memory is soldered to the motherboard for worse that's for sure:(
Good job from you guys as usual :)

[henrylusher]

So what should I replace the battery, ssd card and cooling system with ?

[ИванМаксимов-си]

how securely is the hinge fastener made? Won 't he throw up in a couple of years ?

[julianmorgan]

Would the Crucial T500 ssd be a good upgrade for this laptop?

And is it worth re-doing thermal paste on the cpu?

Thanks

You probably want highlight repairability score. Simpler version than I fix it

[loganmcfadden]

Does anyone know where i can find a fan for this thing? Prefferavly and upgrade but will take an oem version Ive been searching and searching and cant find the right one

[basedmatt]

This new trend of soldering everything into the laptop itself just means they're making our buying decisions easier for us. I sure won't be buying these new junk laptops, and anyone who does probably isn't too smart.

Anyway, good and thorough review, thanks!

[АлексейЧурин-щи]

is it aluminum or not? and what parts of case is plastic?

[rajesh]

pls confirm can we extend RAM memory 32GB instead of 16GB

[nguyenhoa]

My q409za have some cracking noise from its body, how can i fix it?

[grahamn]

What size of Torx head screws are these?

[alsteooaai]

hello, it says max supported ram is 16g. But if I understand correctly it is 8gb on the version with i5 and 16gb on the version with i7 right?

[ademkollari]

When I read disassembly, I expected it would include removing the motherboard, keyboard, the whole shebang. Removing the lid does not disassembly make.

11 hours it lasta maximum 4 hours. OLED sips power like crazy

[jared]

There is no teaching how to disassemble the screen
