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.

I still think we should have *good* modular laptops, even at the cost of power efficiency or performance, and even if we can only replace RAM and storage, it's still something many people, including myself, really want for various reasons (repairability, upgradeability etc)

Storage is much more important than RAM in my opinion. I almost never upgrade RAM, but I've upgraded storage on pretty much every laptop I've owned.

And there is no power reason not to have modular storage. And connectors are pretty small these days. Unless you're building a <6mm thick tablet, you should have modular storage.
