thank you for the video, wow there is a lot of wasted space, laughs.
So it seems the only upgradable feature would be the RAM? Is the existing RAM soldered or in a socket? I assume there are 2 sockets? Is the CPU upgradeable? And lastly, since you can’t remove the SSD either if it fails (they do) or you want a bigger SSD, do you know if you can hook up an external SSD and use it as the root drive? Ive heard you can’t.
