@@GavinRemmein other words, they are ripping the consumer off. Cheaper for them, more money for them because they know that they are throwing away and it will for consumers to buy new. Many of these crooked companies love to say how green they are but contribute more to waste. I hope you were just Jiking with your comment. 🤦🏽♂️
@@wojtekkowal2652 I don't believe that matters, just raise the price $5 + your 10% margin. With the drive for right to repair and product upgradability in the past years the customer will still go for it, more so if they see it's upgradable down the line. I mean if one of the chips or one of the solder joints crack, instead of going for a new laptop or a replacement board, you or the service center can just pop a new dimm in for like 60 bucks
Unfortunately, you need a spoecial kit from lenovo that is hard to get (I couldn't get one) - as is, the laptop comes with empty space, but not the required cables, for the SATA disk :/
@@Conf1dential_ mine broke once after 2 years. Didnt know this happened to others? Lenovo changed mine for free. Do you know if the replacement units are better than the original ones?

These manufacturers should get sued for soldering Ram
It makes it cheaper and easier to package. I don't think they should be penalized for that.

every brand then follow macbook ways, soldered everything
soldered ram should be upgrade able
@@GavinRemme thats just an excuse they use its not true.
You are my reference for laptop recommendation regarding upgradability and ease of access, well done and keep this fine work coming.
i have a question can i upgrade my cpu on the lenovo pad 5 or no
Oh my god it's not even a slim model, why do they insist on soldering the ram to the motherboard
Ikr it's so annoying
Because they save money on memory slot port.
@@wojtekkowal2652 the slot + using a DIMM instead would add about $5 per unit on these lower end, higher volume models.
@@jetfuel_ yah correct ,multiply times amount of laptop produces

Good work! Do you know of any extended batteries that would take the space of a removed SATA disk?
Lenovo sells two batteries, the small one as shown and a bigger one, for this model.
nice video , can you tell wich sata cable should it take to add the hdd , i have this exact laptop but y just cant find the cable.
I have the same issue. Yes, I have space to stick in a sata SSD, but where am I supposed to plug it into? There is no cable for it to plug into.

I have the cable but it is not working. The computer refuse to boot with the second hdd
Can you do for lenovo Yoga 7i if possible and can you tell what is the best thing to do to play games in good fps
Well, on my 15alc05 model the extra 2.5 inch ssd space is filled with a bigger sized battery. Bummer, so much for the extra cable I ordered.
Can you tell me what screw driver is used to open back case?
Torx screw T5 or T6 grabbed a combo from Home Depot worked great just need to figure out how to get the thing off now
can we put an extra ssd?
What about the issue with the Hinges is still happening?
Same issue, mine broke 3 times in the course of 3 years
