My used x230 is starting to bail on me after a couple years of use, and seems to lose power at random times.
What is a good ultraportable laptop to buy that's high quality but also won't rip me off? Good M2 1TB SSD's cost less than $150 now, but many options seem to charge $800 to upgrade, and/or make it extremely inconvenient to upgrade yourself by soldering everything.

I would buy an elephant cat
Elephant cats are amazing *toot*
pröööhhh!! :DDD
should i get a notebook with a GTX 1070 instead of the RTX 2060? price is the same.
are RTX on laptops a meme or is it actual future-proofing?
And that extra hand looks really useful. Makes it easy to pick up your cat, or have your cat hold things for you.
RTX cards -especially the 2060- shouldn't be bought because you think they will be good at ray tracing for any amount of time in the future. However, the 2060 is a better card in raw power even without RTX, so it's just a clear winner. The VRAM shouldn't matter at all on a laptop.
OP here. Have been scouring amazon for laptops for several hours straight and theorycrafting how good they'd be for various tasks.
I wish there were more ryzen laptops out there. For a laptop in the ~$700 budget range, the Ryzen's integrated graphics are way better than they have any right to be while adding basically nothing to the cost:

For a while the new Lenovo flex 14 inch with a Ryzen processor looked perfect (apart from replacing SSD voiding warranty), until I figured out it can't be upgraded past 8 GB of ram. Into the trash it goes.
My basic wishlist:
> Good HD screen sized in the 13-14 inch sweet spot. 2in1 touch appreciated
> Latest gen low to midrange CPU or equivalent
> 8 GB ram minimum, easily upgradeable to 16 GB if it doesn't come with 16 gigs.
> Replaceable M2 SSD with no glued/soldered MMC so that I can immediately upgrade it to 1 TB of ram now that cheap SSDs are available, and ideally continue to do pic related if I run out of space after a few years.
> Optional, but while graphics are not a priority for me, it shouldn't be completely outclassed by a cheap gaming desktop from 2012. I'd like it to run old games easily
Ideally keeping total budget including SSD upgrade below $900.

Why not dream about making the tiger from the start?
Because tigers hunt humans instead of rats

Prestigio SmartBook 141 C2
I paid $1600 AUD TWO YEARS AGO for a thinkpad with a better processor, more memory (though with one SSD and one HDD), 2gb 1050Ti, 8gb of ram.
Intel Core i5-8265U | Whiskey Lake | Quad-Core (1.60 GHz up to 3.90 GHz, 6 MB SmartCache, 14 nm, 25 W)
8 GB DDR4
256 GB SSD | M.2 PCIe NVMe (2280)
NVIDIA GeForce MX150 (GT 1030) DDR5 - 2GB
pic related, new for $755
For a new laptop, I think it's great.
ASUS VivoBook S14, btw.
specs are useless on a laptop if you use a desktop mainly, all that matters is a comfy keyboard and nice screen
Does it just randomly turn off during use? If so, I had that problem. It's an issue with they power button. Just replace the keyboard and it'll fix it.
I'm not sure I understand. The computer I linked to has 32gb of ram and 1tb ssd.
Different user. I have that problem with my X230, though it usually does hard shut-down bellow 20ish % batterylife. Temperature is fine so it's not about that. Kind of annoying quirk with the laptop since it's otherwise in a greate condition.
Lenovo yoga 9xx
HP Envy 13 or x2
Microsoft surface pro x
X is whatever number, I'm looking for a good deal on any of these. Is there anything on this list I should try to lean more towards, or something I've overlooked?
