>> laptop with soldered RAM
The RAM on M1/M2 has 200 GB/sec bandwidth. Hence must be soldered. Impossible with sockets at this level of power consumption.
Adding sockets significantly reduces efficiency and performance at the high end. Laws of physics.

- Mike_12345 4y agoIsn't that basically already the case? The CPU is a System on a Chip. Not much else on that mainboard besides CPU/RAM. The M1/M2 laptops are relatively serviceable compared to the previous generation.
- Mike_12345 4y agoBack in the old days I started with computers that had fixed memory and we didn't complain. Commodore 64 - stuck with 64k soldered RAM. Amstrad CPC 6128 - stuck with 128k soldered RAM No one bitched or moaned about it. I prefer soldered RAM and SSD on my Macbook for the performance boost.
