It's kind of darkly funny to watch people defend Framework's soldered RAM in desktops by going "well it's necessary for high-bandwidth memory" given that that's literally the exact excuse that competing laptop manufacturers used for years
@joepie91 but do they also have laptops with soldered RAM?
@joepie91
"We can't make this cpu work without soldered ram."
Sounds like a strong indicator not to build a product around that cpu then.
@joepie91 What does that mean for new framework customers at the end, are they getting ripped off?
sarcasm
@joepie91 it's necessary, which is why every desktop is slower than a laptop
