Is this move in anticipation of upcoming regulations? That has to be it, right? Lenovo is fairly competitive in the 700-1500€ market but the thin and light models have soldered ram. Not great when they sell you single channel with zero ability to add more sticks on some models. It's not as terrible now due to ddr5 but still leaves bad taste.
