Quote from: Dom Pedro II on September 30, 2022, 22:07:12We've passed the point where thickness matters years ago. There's nothing to gain from making laptops even as thin as some are with SODIMMsYou or I might think so but that doesn't change the fact that manufacturers believe that consumers want thin laptops. The disadvantage of soldered RAM, from manufacturer's standpoint, is that every CPU-memory combination requires a separate motherboard which complicates logistics. CAMM could give them modularity without giving too much leeway to end users (cheap upgrades). Also, if SODIMM really has a hard bandwidth limit, its only a matter of time before it gets obsolete, at least at the higher end. Without a successor, the memory would have to be soldered on all high-end machines.
