Fair point. It's not just this, it's the lack of being able to upgrade. I guess I'm just old and remember when I did my first upgrade from a 14.4k modem to a 33.6k modem and how much faster it was (lol). This is why my next laptop won't be another XPS, but will be a Framework laptop.

I would have bought the Framework laptop now if it wasn't for the fact that they don't ship to the UK (yet) and there's no 15" version.
