Anyone got a GeoBook 3 laptop

I have had this since last xmas, its a cheap slim laptop and it's "pc world" own, and I just want to know if anyone has upgraded the memory from 4gb to 8gb and if so, how easy was it? Thanks

I had a quick look online, it appears that that RAM is soldered on meaning it can't be upgraded I'm afraid

That might be the 32gb emmc memory thats soldered not the actual memory? I have ordered a m.2 250gb that Im hoping to use instead of the rubbish 32gb emmc, if it will fit that is. the bios says it take a nvme, so I have ordered this... www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-256gb-m.2-pcie-x4-nvme-ssd-solid-state-drive-hd-00e-gi.html and the slot looks like this.

So Im keeping everything crossed that it will fit and work :eek:

Sorry for going off topic

How did you get on with installing the NVME @Phil2008

I changed the order in the end and went for this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-g...-solid-state-drive-wds240g2g0b-hd-558-wd.html It works great, not much of a speedboost though but I bought it for the extra space, as 32gb for a windows laptop is totally rubbish as you cant install hardly anything on it.

Hi, I know this was a while ago so i'm hoping you receive this message,
Was it easy enough to replace ... I'm a woman, can I do this? Haha!
Will my updates work and can I download more?
