Here is a dumb idea for Music player apps and streaming services.

Music filters.

@OpenComputeDesign I remember that a Thinkpad, I think it was X201, had options (official and unofficial) to upgrade it from an i5 M540 to an i5 or i7 6th gen or something like that.

Mine is an IdeaPad 3 17ADA05 with Ryzen 7 3xxx and uses the same MoBo as the 15ADA05, but I found very similar MoBos (at least visually), with Intel and even with a Ryzen 4xxx.

That's why I ask. Don't know if someone has had experience making upgrades like these in this line of Lenovo.
