Which new laptop under $300 with upgradeable parts should I be looking at?
Hi,
A problem I have been coming up against is that a lot of the newer, budget Windows laptop (which I will immediately replace with my distribution of choice upon receipt) have memory soldered on the motherboard. This is a decision which brings the utmost distate to my mouth; I'm looking for budget laptops around the $300 mark (new) that let me upgrade their parts. Which models should I be looking at?
I am aware that the used market is fairly decent right now but I'd like to take a look at what's coming up alongside looking at used gear. Thanks.

ThinkPad 470 is not mentioned? Was it a bad choiseI? I want fedora om it?
There's nothing wrong with the T470, it's just an older model. If you find a really good deal on one then get it. If not, then go for the T480 since it has a newer CPU and better battery life.
I think Ive got a great deal, it works fine now, hope it still will do woth fedora 39
It will probably be fine for the next decade at least. It supports up to 32GB of RAM.
I was simply asking for newer laptops. I am considering the used thinkpads alongside any recommendations here so I feel more informed
Business Dells are also worth considering. They’re comparable to the Thinkpad.
