How would you upgrade components that are surface mounted to the board?And why not?
How would you upgrade components that are surface mounted to the board?
Sometimes you can upgrade the CPU if it's socketed, but if it's BGA then that's soldered on too.
Most laptops don't have a slot for a graphics card, so that's soldered on too.
That really only leaves RAM and SSD, and some other random ones like wifi card.
This is always an option:
Most laptops simply don't have individual components that can be replaced or upgraded. In the quest from manufacturers to make laptops thinner and lighter, they need to embed components like the video card, CPU, and more in order to accomplish this. Many ultra thin laptops such as the MacBook line, also have embedded/soldered RAM and storage, so on those nothing is upgradable.This is the laptop I have: http://www.cnet.com/products/samsun...15-6-core-i5-3230m-8-gb-ram-750-gb-hdd/specs/
And why not?
You should be able to spin up a VM (using something like VMware Player) inside of your existing Windows to play around with.I wanna try running 2 OS. The second one being linux.
On Samsung's website, your laptop supports a maximum memory of 8GB total. Keep that in mind.

If you already have 8GB, probably not. On Intel's website, that particular i5 processor officially supports 32gb maximum, but on Samsung's website, your laptop is spec'd for 8gb. Anything over 8gb, I cannot recommend or guarantee that it will recognize.
vm = virtual machine. It's like having an operating system within an operating system. It's full on inception.
Worth what, exactly?is a vm really worth it tho?
It's a much better way to try out different OS's than to multi-boot your computer.thanks and thanks!
