My laptop is in the background, I’m holding the new A311D upgrade module. It’s a black PCB with an edge connector, and some flat-flex cable conectors. The blue Banana Pi compute module is attached, showing the Amlogic A311D SoC and various other chips.

Is your laptop upgradeable? Mine is! I got this upgrade in the mail last week.
This A311D module adds WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, and bumps the CPU performance a lot, going from 4x ARM Cortex-A53 cores on the old module, to 2x A53 and 4x A73! Roughly doubled the performance of my computer, and now I also get to use bluetooth headphones 😎🎶
