Sound like a downgrade to me I rather have capability of adding more ram than having a soldered limited one doesn't matter if it's high performance. Especially for consumer stuff.

    Looking at my actual PCs built in the last 25 years or so, I tend to buy a lot of good spec ram up front and never touch it again. My desktop from 2011 has 16GB and the one from 2018 has 32GB. With both now running Linux, it still feels like plenty.

    When I go to build my next system, if I could get a motherboard with 64 or 128GB soldered to it, AND it was like double the speed, I might go for that choice.

    We just need to keep competition alive in that space to avoid the dumb price gouging you get with phones and Macs and stuff.
