That's quite strange limitation. Is there some technical reason for this? Is the memory soldered in to save space? Do they only have one dimm?

- fzzzy 10y agoThe memory is soldered in to save space, yes. That also means it is not aftermarket upgradeable. But still, they could have soldered 32 gb on.
- mrcarrot 10y agoAs far as I know, yes the memory is soldered in.
- toyg 10y agoMemory is soldered, but they could have had a 32gb option regardless -- they still have the 8gb option after all. The real limitation IMHO is power: to chase thinness, they reduced the battery volume and went for all the low-power options they could find. 32gb would likely not be low-power.
- otterley 10y agoIt's a CPU limitation when used with LPDDR3 modules.
