“Great idea. I have some laptop memory modules lying around. I never throw ram away.”

That’s why the bastards solder them in now.

“That’s why the bastards solder them in now.”

Nonsense. They would sell more if it was upgradeable.


Why RAM is soldered

Thinner designs: Soldering allows manufacturers to create much thinner laptops by eliminating the need for RAM slots, which add bulk.

Space efficiency: It saves space on the motherboard, allowing for more flexible component placement.

Performance: Direct soldering can lead to more reliable, high-speed connections compared to a traditional socketed connection.
