OK. forgot to tell: in addition to CPU (if you dont have A10 5750M) and other stuff, it is possible to: 1) upgrade a power adapter from 65W to 90W - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Rectangle-20V-4-5A-90W-AC-Adapter-Charger-Power-Supply-For-Lenovo-IdeaPad-Thinkpad-IBM-B490/32435938795.html (3 prong power cord is not included, could get it separately or borrow from 65W adapter). Although I am not sure if this will allow to faster charge a battery, at least - even if laptop would not consume more than 65W, if adapter is rated 90W it could provide those 65W more reliably and serve longer than a default Lenovo's adapter 2) upgrade G505S battery from 4 cells to 8 cells - almost double a battery life, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wholesale-New-8cells-Laptop-Battery-For-deaPad-G400s-G405s-G410S-S410p-G500s-G505S-Series-L12S4E01-L12L4A02/32372822478.html - search for "g505s 8cells" 3) also, while not related - the only USB 3 flash drive which I know that has a hardware write protection physical switch , https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Netac-U335-USB-3-0-Hardware-Write-Protection-Flash-Drive/32250142250.html <--- initially I got it for making a secure Qubes installation drive, but sadly, if I enable write protection switch, coreboot BIOS cant see this drive ; could see only if I disable it... will research more about this problem when I have time; meanwhile went back to optical disks :P P.S. what sucks about aliexpress is that some high end products like laptop "gamer's RAM" cannot be found there, and all these chinese SSDs are not reliable (using the cheapest components) . Also just in case, video tape while unpacking the packages, so that if something goes wrong (e.g. some cunning seller sent 9 items instead of 10, hoping that you dont notice) you could easily win a dispute in your favor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
