    Buying an old m18x r2 and putting a GTX 1070 in is a lot of fun, and I wondered if there are any newer Notebooks/Laptops that seem to be easily upgradable in the future.

    Maybe the area 51m is a fitting succesor? (At least based on a linus tech tip video, regarding upgradibility)
    And clevos still support desktop CPU's.

    So I just wanted to ask if you had any fun with older/newer Systems and upgrading them with newer hardware.

    The Clevo X170 is the most recent upgradeable DTR.
