Thanks! It's been awhile since I purchased a laptop and couldn't tell if it was soldered by looking at the details section.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank floatee
the whole vero back-to-nature eco-friendly biz is bogus, esp given all the cardboard the laptop is packed in, and don't get me started on the two reverse-labeled keyboard keys. regardless, lots to like .. so much that i just threw down for a 4th try at getting a good machine. fool me once, fool me twice, fool me thrice .... fool me four times? we shall see!
btw / the three i bought previously ranged in price from $450 to $550, so at $520 the current price strikes a basically okay medium. the deals have been posted here before, without getting much love, for reasons unknown to me. i doubt this time will be different but, again, we shall see.

- the recycled plastic material creaked a lot every time I touched it. The chassis quality was lower than a cheap 3D print.
- the plastic was rough like 300 grit sandpaper.
- the fan vent was located between the keyboard and screen, facing upwards. I can't imagine how that would affect the screen over a few years.
- the fan was always on and loud, very loud. I measured it to be from 78 to 92 decibels at all times.
I was hoping they would figure out a solution or scrap the design, but it sounds like they didn't.

Did you end up getting something else to replace it or do you still have this laptop?

ram on-board so no upgrade
It's on eBay as well if anyone is interested.
