And by the way, for the repairability folks: replaceable RAM on mobile devices is going away for good reason. Two SODIMMs is 128 bits of multi-GHz bus across multiple cm of board and a connector. That *eats* power. This isn't manufacturers being out to screw us, it's physics.

Sure, but the want for this ultimately boils down to money. People don't want to be taken advantage of by RAM markups and want the benefits of not needing more RAM until later in the computer's life

No, it boils down to do you want your laptop to last 30% less on battery or not. You can complain all you want about manufacturers marking up the RAM, but that's not *why* they're soldering it down. That's just the marketing guys taking advantage of engineering decisions.
