    Nice tutorial.
    As long as a laptop lets you upgrade yourself, I don't mind devices only having a low amount of memory and storage. In many cases, I'd prefer it, as it means I can choose better components.
    With many laptops, I've found myself paying extra for 1TB and then I've replaced it with a 2TB drive anyways.
    I'd love to see an option of buying laptops without memory and SSDs so we can configure them ourselves (I appreciate why they don't do this though, custom apps, returns etc).

    Got the same laptop and created a workstation on top of it as you did.
    If you are a SE and looking for a mac alternative to run Linux and play games from time to time these are my 2 cents:
    - great built quality
    - great screen quality
    - very compact (2kg, same as MBP 16")
    - great keyboard and trackpad (very similar to mac's)
    - supports Linux (no compatibility issues because of drivers, incompatible mediatek wifi card, etc.)
    - good for casual gaming (3070ti good enough to play 1080p 100fps+)
    - battery life almost sucks but it is a workstation so it is expected.
    - supports 64 GB memory (great for virtualization, local K8 env. etc.), up to 4 TB SSD (2 TB + 2 TB)
    I think I'll go with this ~7 years as long as it keeps running, good investment very satisfied.
    I bought a Lenovo legion RTX 4080 and returned it due to poor built quality and a very poor trackpad also it was pretty heavier (2.5 kg).

    I've had an experience of owning Razer blade 15 laptop for last 2 years and 4 months. Here's how it went
    1. Within 7-8 months of purchase the L key stopped working
    2. Within 1year and 5-8 months, I gradually started realizing that for some reason, my laptop is deforming! I was wondering why!!
    3. Just last week, I saw that a part of the back-pane of my laptop is wide open and battery is swollen, pressurizing the back-pane.
    I bought the laptop listening to these "CZcams influencers".

    On Razer's website it says that the max is 4TB total storage through 2x 2TB SSD Sticks, but is it purely due to size constraints(single-sided vs double-sided ssd) or is there something else at play? Maybe some sort of software or bandwidth limitation(sounds unlikely but I'm no expert).
    I've heard there are now some single sided 4TB drives available, albeit probably at a lower quality, so I was wondering if it was possible to have a higher quality 2TB as the main drive + a secondary single-sided 4TB for Media Storage.

    • @MashITTech

      You are confusing memory with storage. The name is your storage, you can add up to 4tb in that spare slot that will extend the amount of storage you currently have (probably 1tb unless you already upgraded the SSD). The 2 ram slots are fully populated so if you wish to have 64gb or ram you need to remove your sticks and replace with the 2x 32gb sticks like I used in the video. Hope this makes sense

But, when I use the command prompt to find the MaxCapacity, is say 32 GBs is max. My question was, does adding that 2nd SSD somehow expand the RAM maximum amount to 64?
