It is unfortunate that laptops are not built for upgrades, at least not very many are.
Not many, if you're talking PC laptops, and approximately 0% if you're talking Mac or tablets.
Which is quite sad, as it generates a large amount of e-waste that fills up our oceans.
Unfortunately the corporate business model makes disposal more profitable for the corporation than repair.
It's easier to make a disposable product, and when it wears out, you have to buy an entire new one. That keeps the current corporate quarter bottom line up and the stockholders happy.
Capitalism does have many great features, but it also has a few flaws. I don't know how to fix those flaws.
