Now that the trend of soldering RAM into #Laptops is taking off from #Apple, #Qualcomm and #AMD, there is #CAMM.
The #SODIMM market will die, and CAMM manufacturing will have to shift to desktops where upgradeability and performance are core features.

@markstos @MickInTx anyways, it still looks like a proprietary product, where one can flash/install own OS.
The cost for software - I don't want and won't use - is included in the price.
Also, it doesn't seem to be using much of standards for components. Good luck with #repairability or #upgradeability after years.
There are NAS cases from brands, and also no-brand ones on AliExpress (I bought one), that can fit standard mATX/ITX/ATX motherboard - repairable/upgradeable on component level.
There's no good justification for #Apple downgrading #Repairability and #Upgradeability of it's products...
@damngoodtech In the end it's a consumer's choice.
People need to be #TechLiterate enough to value #repairability (and #upgradeability) over making tue thinnest devices possible.
Now granted, both @frameworkcomputer amd @Fairphone did manage to design #thinn yet repairable devices, proving that all the #AntiRepair-Arguments are corporate propaganda lies!
Personally I'd accept even #thicc'er devices if that means they'd use more #COTS and less #custom parts...
@gerrymcgovern what would really help is @EU_Commission making #repairability and #upgradeability mandatory.
We don't throw away entire Desktops if just need more storage.
So why should anyone accept that on smartphones, tablets or laptops?
