Monopolies are never good. Nothing like a good old competition.

Yes, looks like you better to buy wholesale and sell them for less and run them out of business.
Weāve had them for around 3 or 4 seasons, theyāre not for sale. These are not the spouses you are looking for, he can go about his business, move along.
One of the Rebel later suggests to charge him an arm for it.!
āLook kid, Iāve done my part of the bargain.

āBut we canāt turn back,
fear is their greatest defense; I doubt if
the actual security there is any greater than
it was on Aquilae (Panda Babaās origin Planet) or Sullust, and what there
is is more likely directed towards a large-scale
assault!ā

The point is there is no competition. People buy from VATAN because their ads are on every TV channel shown every 5 minutes. There is yet a champion to arise and disrupt the market to create competition. No other dealer sells the Ti. Not even Media Markt.

Okay, installed the SSD, but realized that ACER laptops suck ballsā¦
Acer: Designed to Not be user upgradable, repairable, or moddable. In adding this SSD, I had to break part of the chassy (chassis) to get at the Sata portā¦
Dell: Power plug eventually stops recognizing charger and throttles CPU to 600 MGHz
HP: Blocks any attempt at changing PCIE mini cards (no jury-rigging an eGPU)
Are there any good laptop makers left? Metal frame, upgradeable in some way other than RAM, can charge, and do other basic things? Iām saving up for a Ryzen mobile now, R3U of courseā¦ but whoās left to buy from that would go in on that?

Is importing the items not allowed? Like, from other sources? Newegg and all that, but maybe an out of country friend could get some cards cheaper and ship them over, it would depend on the laws thereā¦

Wow, that sucks ballsā¦ guess that computer parts arenāt a large market and smaller business canāt achieve enough mass in a city shop as to expand before VATAN competes and crushes them? But, should be doable onlineā¦ does Amazon sell computer parts in Turkey? Do they try to compete with VATAN or just charge outrageous fares?

You didnāt mention Lenovo (former IBM laptops), but, āupgradeable laptopā itās an oxymoron and has always been. Laptops are the definition of āsold as isā.

Iāve never owned a Lenovo, so I couldnāt say much about it. I miss the old laptopsā¦ I have a D610 in my room right now, it lets you swap the CPU, with the jury-rigging, you can swap the GPU too, upgradable laptopsā¦ too bad that was 13 years agoā¦
Guess I better do a lot of research before buying next time.

GPU on a laptop is better dealt with external adapters which have their own power supply to adjust them to the laptopās systems.
Laptop have their own on board video card systems which are better designed than desktops.
Those adapters sell for around $80 in North America.
Most of laptops designs for upgrade systems are :
- The on board RAM
- The on board hard disk drive.
As for the hardware system hard disk upgrade 78 Alpha78_Alpha1 mentioned above:
Youād be finding it easier to do with external hard disk systems for this kind of an upgrade.
It seems that you are trying to change part of the architecture for the type of hard disk the laptop motherboard was designed for.
Desktops are designed for that.
Notebooks are not designed for this kind of upgrades.
Mainframes and servers will also handle those upgrades and more.

There is the option to buy from Amazon and it will be much cheaper than buying from VATAN. But what will happen when it arrives and the card happens to be defective? There is no warranty buying from Amazon AFAIK.

If by the disk you meant the D610, I havenāt changed that, but you just reminded me that I can test on it before my main system
For the disk upgrade on my main acer laptop, it was switching out the DVD drive for a caddy, I used up all the external slotsā¦
Maybe system76 makes some good ones 
or, I could ask my physics teacher or my new boss
@The_Dunning_Kruger (or Linus) Congrats on the victory, I assume you were talking to me, I have yet to meet any alpha 7.
You have to click the box at checkout, it appears after a few seconds so if you rush, it will appear s though no warranty is offered (proof done with the MSI version)

Amazon has warranty, yes
They have what is a called a policy for the honesty of the seller.

Yes, this will not work in enemy country.
Better buy elsewhere unless youāre a spy and itās part of a mission.
Iām checking Alibaba shipping rates.
They have 2 shippers to EU, but that may or may not be covered to the intended country of delivery.
It seems to be one of the main partner

Thereās also the Amazon A to Z guarantee

Right, guarantee, not warranty, the warranty is from the manufacturer.
That could be 50% less, good for resale in the intended market if you want to make profit.
50% to over 80% less. Potential 400% profit in sight.
but thatās just business, so what do (could) I know, right?
