  • I can forgive the ram decision, they’re producing laptops that can be upgraded in the future to keep them from becoming waste, not upgraded using old equipment now.

    I actually do have 2230 ssds laying around. I bought a few used computers on eBay to use as servers that had 128gb versions of these little shits in them that I had assumed were 2.5" not m.2. Wouldn’t use them in a new laptop for me, but it’s plenty enough for a school laptop or device that isn’t storing data on that particular drive.

    I’m not going to rag on them for going with this form factor, because they are very conscious about their designs, but it isn’t like it’s hard to accommodate a range of m.2 sizes. You just need a little hole you can screw the mounting…screw into. Like, maybe you can’t fit a 2280 in there, but from what I’ve seen 2242 is more common than 2230.
