With DDR5 RAM prices skyrocketing, some mid-range laptops could soon ship with budget-level specs. TrendForce expects companies like Dell and Lenovo to stock more notebooks with 8GB of memory. These reasonably priced options may no longer handle intense office and gaming tasks.
This is hell, not only they are soldering fucking ram you can’t even buy laptop with viable amount of memory.
Now that we’re getting CAMM2 modules, we might see more non-soldered RAM again.
LPDDR just couldn’t be done with DIMMs. LPDDR saves power and laptop manufacturers want to compete on battery life. CAMM allows for LPDDR.
Hope this is true, but it really makes no sense for them to allow people upgrades. Endgame here is to make laptops like phones
