@@ezrapierce1233 That's a huge problem. I certainly won't buy a laptop with 16 GB of non upgradable RAM in 2024 or ever. That should be 32 GB at least with an option for 64 GB.
Another point to look at when buying RAM for your laptop is to check whether the SoDIMM module is single rank or dual rank. While it is normally not a widespread issue, some thin and light laptops might not be physically compatible with dual rank RAM modules.
You pretty much explained an entire Laptop Upgrading course within a few minutes. I may need to take some notes on your awesome style of informative, yet entertaining brevity. Also saw the Framework 13 Laptop in the back. Welcome to the FR club!
Some people may not have easy access to an Ethernet port so I would suggest downloading the drivers for the new WiFi card and putting them on a flash drive before performing that upgrade. Also note that Intel WiFi cards whose model names end in "1" so AX201, AX211, will only work on machines with modern Intel CPUs. The AX201, AX210, and others ending in "0" should work on any laptop.
Some Intel M.2 wifi cards don't work on non-Intel machines because they use the CNVio2 interface instead of the standard PCIe + USB like most cards, for example the AX201 and AX200 are nearly identical but the AX201 gets its MAC address from the motherboard and the AX200 has its own
But where do you source reputable Wifi cards? I have had trouble finding stuff on Amazon that wasn't a fake copy from a very Eastern country. I am beginning to wonder if original, say, Intel AX211 are sold in retail at all

Hello josh. Im an architecture student. My question is what you think about Intel core 9 ultra 185h processor is it enough for 3d and cad programs. ( Im thinking buy an asus rog zephyrus g16 2024 and it has to be enough for 5 6 years cause in my country technologies too expensive.)
If the Zephyrus has 16GB soldered RAM, avoid it. You need 32GB at minimum. Also, you don't need a Core Ultra 9, you can get by with Core Ultra 7 and Core Ultra 5 pretty easily because they provide almost the same single core performance
I don't believe it is something that most people want to watch. They want to know straight away... is the laptop good. So if we were to do unboxing's, we'd probably do it on a different channel that we'd have to launch for that purpose. What do you think about this?
@JustJoshTech i agree with you. But we need to know what is inside the box. I mean, some laptops have an external mouse on the box. Meanwhile, some others dont have a charger. I dont mean to watch what the packege looks like, i want to know what is inside it.
@@Terabyte75 The only time I've ever seen a laptop not come with a charger was if it was used or open box. Also, external mice just aren't a thing when it comes to laptops. Sometimes a manufacturer will offer one as part of a bundle, but those are very rare.

The laptop industry moving towards non upgradeable parts: 😅

You can get MacBook's with 128GB of RAM but that's not my point of the problem. @@cameronbosch1213
@@cameronbosch1213 Then I guess neither of us are looking favorably at the new Zephyrus laptops then.
Framework: YES.
It is ugly though. Poor design

Well, I learn that today. You just saved me from a wrong buy (although, no kidding, I am not dfinding any such module online that isn't a knock-off)

Thank you
love ur videos

if Can be upgraded
Not a chance. Only the storage can be upgraded. 8GB RAM is too few in 2024 - even 16GB is. You need at least 32GB RAM now in 2024 onwards.

Some old Thinkpads have an upgradable CPU.

@@one_step_sideways 4070 model has 32 gb soldered ram. And one more question are we use usually multicore performance ?
Perfect thank u
THIS VIDEO IS APPLES WORST NIGHTMARE LMAOOO
Speakers are upgradable too? Don't say, use headphones.
And also you can sometimes upgrade your GPU, if it comes with MXM module.

Josh. Question. Thoughts on the Rog g16 gaming laptop?
First!
Please unbox products before reviewing them.
I don't believe it is something that most people want to watch. They want to know straight away... is the laptop good. So if we were to do unboxing's, we'd probably do it on a different channel that we'd have to launch for that purpose. What do you think about this?
@@JustJoshTech Unboxing is no longer of interest to me. I like that you cut to the chase.
@JustJoshTech i agree with you. But we need to know what is inside the box.
I mean, some laptops have an external mouse on the box. Meanwhile, some others dont have a charger.
