Read an article in the newspaper today that I found interesting. It was from a well known computer
computer business in another state. The article was about “Upgrading Your Computer” vice buying a new one.
It goes into detail about what you can purchase i.e. memory, hard drive, etc…
Then it says about replacing memory. Pretty easy thing for those that have done it especially in a desktop.
But, then it says about doing it in a laptop also….This I found interesting. Working on computers daily for
a living I typically will upgrade memory on laptops myself. Some laptops you flip upside down and take a few
screws out and you can swap out the memory in them. But, there are other laptops that one piece of memory
will go in the bottom and then another will go under the keyboard. No typically in these situations that requires
a bit more skill to take apart the laptop especially without breaking the laptop keys, cables, etc….
Personally I would never recommend to someone that they should replace memory in a laptop…too many
things can go wrong….never a good thing.

When did you seen last time laptop with memory under the keyboard.
This laptop must be 5 years old or more, so who will do upgrade on that kid of laptop.
Memory upgrades in laptops are totally safe now, as you said “flip upside down and take a few
screws out and you can swap out the memory”

Well I think a laptop doesn’t need any upgrade. Because it’s really meant to like that. Up grading a lop top us not so much advisable to be done of user directly. The manufacturer can only provide an advisable action to repair a computer.
