Worth Paying for SSD and RAM Upgrades When Buying a Laptop?” (lemmy.world)

Is it worth paying 90 AUD to upgrade the laptop’s 512 GB M.2 2242 PCIe Gen4 TLC SSD to 1 TB, or would it be better to buy a 1 TB SSD myself and and save the 512 GB for future use?

Also, is it worth paying $150 to upgrade from the included 16 GB DDR5-5600 MT/s (SODIMM) to 32 GB (2 × 16 GB) when buying the laptop?

I’d also appreciate any recommendations on where to buy the cheapest RAM and SSD.

Thanks in advance for any advice or input!

    With the prices of RAM right now, if it's only $150, that may be an outright steal.

    So are you saying the $150 16 GB RAM is cheap? because RAM nowadays are very expensive?
