Is Soldered RAM A Fair Price For A Thinner Ultrabook??

hmmm how long do you usually keep a device before replacing it? ??

reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets

id do it myself with a guide. ive replaced a phone battery before. sorry for the wall of text lol

yeahhh voting with your wallet works slowly, but it works. Repair frienldy modles exist because enough people asked for them.

sealed designs can genuinely be more durable in some ways: fewer connectors to loosen, better water resistance... repairability and reliability are not always the same thing.

oh ive been there lol business lines from most manufacturers tend to be more serviceable than consumer lines. theyre often less flashy, but have documented service manuals and orderable parts.

hmm idk repair friendly designs are great, but for many people the real issue is software support ending, not hardware. A fixable laptop that no longer gets updates has teh same problem.

@kofis548 leraned alot about the engineering side. still annoyed about soldreed RAM, but i understand the trade-off now. thx. owe u a beer 🍺
