- MuffinFlavored 6y agoWhy's that?
- ActorNightly 6y agoTake a look at any of the "new" releases of Macbooks over the past couple of years, and all the problems that people have with them. From butterfly keyboards, to having to charge through right side to avoid CPU slow down, to all the problems with software in Catalina especially how it breaks features on older Macbooks, e.t.c IMO anyone who actually gives about tech should have stopped buying Macbooks since they started soldering SSDs into the board.
- hombre_fatal 6y agoThere's a lot more to care about in the world than whether or not my laptop's SSD is soldered to the mobo.
- ActorNightly 6y agoI personally mind the fact that every time I get a new laptop I have to set up the OS all over again and install all the applications I need. Instead of just buying the same model and swapping in the drive.
- saagarjha 6y agoPeople want to see new processors.
- foldr 6y agoIt makes a lot of technical sense to solder SSDs to the board given the insane speed of modern SSDs. Solder joints are much better than a connector for a high bandwidth link. Even tiny parasitic capacitances become a major headache.
- MarioMan 6y agoAre they accomplishing anything that couldn't and isn't already done well be an NVMe M.2 connector? All that comes to my mind is a miniscule space savings.
- foldr 6y agoI suspect they are getting better speed and power consumption, and deeper integration with T2 (which functions as the controller chip). Apple is generally ahead of the curve when it comes to SSD performance in laptops, so it's unlikely that a generic SSD connector would function as well.
