 Tea and pentelobes - Bromptonaut
Are laptops designed for business use any more amenable to tinkering and repair/update than those pitched at home use?

The machine I have from work at present is an Acer, one of several bought from Argos at the start of the pandemic. Domestic spec and even after my best efforts still got far too much bloatware.

It's as slow as a very slow thing indeed and might be better with a memory upgrade but unlike some I've had previously there are no hatches in the underside to access the memory bank.

Last one I messed with belonged to my son when he was at Uni. Turned out it's failing to charge wasn't down to anything in the charger though; it'd been dropped and cracked the MoBo.
