In my Motile M141/M142 intro video I mentioned how upgradeable this laptop is, and now I'll show you just how easy it is! In this video I'll show you how to upgrade the RAM/memory, add an additional NVMe SSD, and upgrade the wireless card.
Unfortunately, there isn't a second RAM slot to run a dual-channel configuration. I've checked both sides of the mobo myself and the existing socket doesn't have provisions (no locking tabs or slot) to put a second stick in the opposite direction covering the M.2 SATA side despite what others have thought. Here's a pic of the opposite side of the RAM socket: i.imgur.com/C1...
Also, you can absolutely put a different amount of RAM (like if you only want to bump up to 8GB), and a larger NVMe SSD (like 1TB) than I did.
For those wondering about the WiFi card performance differences, when transferring GBs of videos between this laptop and one of my wired network computers the stock Intel 3168ngw only gives me about 25MB/s, while the AX200 does 70MB/s on my home AC network.
