Yes, being able to upgrade is great.  But I do get annoyed at how much they charge.  For example getting an additional 16GB of memory for the T450s is $309 at Lenovo (on big sale from the usual $430), while the same from Crucial is $180.  A 512GB SATA SSD for that model is $430 (on sale from $580) while a comparable model from Crucial is $180, or a Samsung 850 Pro for $220 on Amazon.<p>As a consequence I have a collection of unused 500GB laptop hard drives since you have to order with some storage and that is the cheapest Lenovo do.  I immediately replace them, but this is wasteful and silly.  If their prices were far closer to normal then I&#x27;d just get Lenovo to do it, and they&#x27;d make more money.  Instead they see me getting the lowest specs, instead of what I actually use.
