Analysis
This OTVOC's real differentiator is that its RAM is genuinely upgradeable: it ships with a removable 4GB SODIMM module plus one empty slot, so it can grow to 8GB or 16GB without replacing the whole machine — something most budget laptops in this catalog don't allow. The Core m3-8100Y processor is entry-level (2018), but paired with active cooling to avoid thermal throttling.
What we like
- Genuinely upgradeable RAM (free SODIMM slot)
- Only 1.57kg
- Camera with a physical privacy shutter
- Active cooling system
Worth knowing
- Only 4GB of RAM out of the box, insufficient for modern multitasking
- 2018 processor, already outdated
- 128GB of storage, limited
Anyone who wants an affordable starting machine, intending to upgrade the RAM later.
