      As far as I know, it’s about access times between the RAM and CPU. It’s the same reason SoCs are having RAM integrated.

        It’s about cost, space, heat and most of all “MONEY”

        If I force you to buy the extra ram upfront because you can’t upgrade it, I can charge a premium for it.

    I’ve never had to solder laptop ram. I always buy ones that let me get in there without a complete disassembly.
