is its RAM upgradable?
- magicalhippo 1y agoI would be very surprised. Typically LPDDR is soldered, as it takes too much power to run the traditional sockets, as well as being much slower. Though there has been a modular option called LPCAMM[1]. However AFAIK it doesn't support the speed the specs of this box states. Recently a newer connector, SOCAMM has been launched[2], which does support the high memory speeds, but it's just on the market and going into servers first AFAIK.

- duskwuff 1y agoSOCAMM is also Nvidia-specific, not a wider standard. (At least, not yet.)
- aitchnyu 1y agoWill this save upgradable RAM on laptops? At the same time, dual channel is needed and laptops give only 1 slot to upgrade.
- magicalhippo 1y agoGood question. Perhaps for higher-end models. Though cost, weight and physical space still weighs in favor of soldered RAM.
- hnuser123456 1y agoNo, it's soldered, it would have to run around 6000 MT/s instead of 8533 if it was slotted DIMMs.
