Thinking of replacing my 2017 Asus (still working) but stuck at 8GB with a framework or something which I can upgrade from time to time. The laptop is good, but memory is soldered.

Anyone here using framework? Good/bad? How long have been using it

Unfortunately they are not available here.

tat a odd thing .. wont happen here.. users here either use stock.. or sendiri go amazon buy de

if you can import...

Why? Cannot import here? Did not know that.

So, what is the next most upgradable friendly laptop? Dell G series?

now only ram n ssd can upgrade

wifi card mayb oso

newer intel soc is solder ram. the next gen may return back to sodimm.
thats why i avoid intel laptop.

That for Lunar Lake only. The next gen will be with soldered LPDDR5 due to the form factor of that market design. SODIMM still with DDR5, CAMM2 for LPDDR5 (not for crazy high speed variant).

They don't send here, but you could use forwarder... Have luck dealing with custom though.

Problem is they don't officially sell here

So import costs are kinda high

Personally I would say just look at some ThinkPad T/X/P series and see if any fits your needs

OK, thanks. Will find whatever is sold here.

Sell your laptop and buy a new one?

If you are adventurous and if you know someone who knows BGA rework you can actually upgrade soldered memory on most laptops. This depends of course, whether its schematics are available
Armand666 may be able to do this

Framework - For me I don't think it's currently a good choice right now due to somewhat immature firmware/software support, and their laptops aren't exactly 'cheap' either after factoring import charges and duties. Their upgradability isn't that much of a selling point either

I see. Will sell off the laptop and get a better one
