Hey i'm looking to buy a laptop that is easy to work with and i can fix or upgrade things in the future. Kind of like A Lenovo Thinkpad but i'm not really the biggest fan of those! I'm not too fussed about having a GPU in it or anything though. Thanks!

 

p.s. Sorry if i posted this in the wrong place i'm new

if you want a laptop that's easy to fix get one of lenovo's work laptops (like the T-series), then you can upgrade wifi, get 3G/4G(with some of them), upgrade bluetooth and ofcourse ram and storage

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

I don't think that there's anything else

In a laptop you can really only upgrade RAM and storage

 

 

With laptops it is usually what you see is what you get.

There is basically NO upgrade path!

 

 

You are wrong, there are laptops where you can upgrade the CPU, and the GPU through MXM cards (MXM is quite common actually)

 

You can change the antennas, install msata devices, change drives, ssd and memory

 

Some clevo/alienware models etc give you full upgrade options
