There is a thinkpad general, but no laptop general.
I have been looking for a laptop for a while now. I am certain the laptop I want is out there, but it's becoming hard for me to find it.
The last laptop I bought was a Satellite l855-s5405. It has a 1366x768 screen, and I have access to changing the ram, hdd/sdd, and battery from the bottom of the laptop.
Do they make laptops anymore where you have direct access to the ram and hdd/sdd at the bottom, without having the pull the bottom part of the laptop off? As far as I can tell, some might, or some might only let you change one stick of ram instead of both.
All I am looking for, is: >Ryzen CPU, preferably a 3500u >1920x1080 60Hz resolution >two channels of ram, and a way to access them and replace them >way to access and replace storage drive
I could be pickier and also look for usb C, but I think only Intel laptops have them for the most part, no?
I took a look at it, but I am not certain if it would fulfill everything I would like. It does appear there is some extra work required in accessing the ram, and I may need to buy it with an m.2 drive in order to change it out.
I should have also mentioned I would prefer one with a numpad.
I will still put this on a list of laptops to consider, but not yet.

Why not an USFF desktop? It would be twice as powerful as a laptop yet occupy very little space. Hell you can even vesa mount it on the back of a monitor and use a wireless keyboard + mouse for max space savings.

I already have a desktop computer with an RX 590 gpu.
I would like a laptop that isn't too weak, but capable of doing some work when I leave home.

The only laptops worth getting are refurb ThinkPads or XPS.

Lol, I own pic related. It has HDD cover and memory cover. Afaik it has M.2 SATA, but you have to remove bottom cover in order to access it. It has Ryzen 5 2500U, and 1366x768 shitty screen.
If the last laptop I had is a Satellite l855-s54045 with the following:
>i3-3120M with HD Graphics 4000 >8gb ram (upgraded to two 4gb sticks) >256 GB SSD (upgraded from 320 GB 5400 rpm HDD) >1366x768 resolution >numpad
It is still viable for regular every day shit. I used to be able to edit 1080p videos on it with Premiere. Games not so much unless the games (from that era) were played in medium. What would be comparable to today?
what laptop is that? Could you show me a pic of the bottom? Is it the one on the left or the right?
