I see first comment there:
> Made for "Lower Power" a.k.a BGA trash. Sadly that's where the money is, because so many people simply do not care to buy PC for longevity they all want the castrated performance for the little convenience it has and Apple consumers being even worst accepting Soldered SSDs, RAM and everything irreparable garbage.
Why people are still so misinformed? Desoldering and soldering BGA is fairly easy and equipment to do that is accessible (you can get a rework station for less than £100 today).
- pstrateman 5y agoGood luck reworking a CPU on a 10+ layer laptop board.
- varispeed 5y agoIt doesn't matter how many layers board has. Desoldering / soldering process is the same be it 2 layer or 10 layer.
- pstrateman 5y agoBoards with more layers tend to dissipate heat better. It makes reworking much harder.

- RcouF1uZ4gsC 5y ago> and everything irreparable garbage I know right. Back when we used to have vacuum tubes for computing, you just needed some basic glass blowing and electronic skills and you could repair any computer. Ever since we moved to integrated circuits and transistors, repairability has gone way down.
