Upgrading RAM before:
>take out DIMM
>put in new one you bought at the store
Upgrading RAM now:
>require soldering tools, have to look up circuit boards, mess around with capacitors, etc. to carefully remove the old RAM chips and put in specific models you had to order online or scavenged yourself from broken laptops
What happened, Sup Forums? I thought technology was supposed to get more user-friendly.
You bought an ultrabook, that's why. There's still laptops around with removable dimms, you just have to buy one.
>What happened, Sup Forums?
>laptops
But stupid go- I mean, beloved consumer; don't you want your laptop to be Thinner™ and Lighter®? Obviously you do! Isn't the fact that our non-upgra--- err, I mean, Power-Optimized™ machines keep selling like hotcakes enough proof for you?!
No one needs more than 16GB of RAM on a laptop.
Apparently Microsoft requires soldered RAM for connected standby, supposedly as a security thing to prevent cold boot attacks.
That's true now, but I may need more later, and I may not realize I need as much as I do when I buy it. And I used to be able to buy a cheaper laptop that had everything I needed except having not enough RAM, then stick some spare RAM I already have in it.
Wrong.
You bought a meme, not a laptop.
> gaming laptop
Yeah, it sucks. It's become more important than ever to splurge up front when purchasing a laptop.
> having anything other than a shitposter toaster thinkpad for a laptop
You deserve it.
>tfw the next thinkpad will have soldered ram in it
The death of an era
just buy chips with a higher order (like 8M x 16 instead of 4M x 16) than currently on-board. don't have to worry about pins, about caps, or anything else. exact same electrical properties.
$1700 isn't too bad given that the RAM alone costs $1000
>No one needs more than 16GB of RAM on a laptop.
until you need it.
either get a desktop replacement or you get a chrome book, there is no use for anything in the middle.
I wish that was true.

It did. Now you just throw shit away because average consumer resource needs are actually quite low if you use your desktop computer for desktop computer things. Why waste space on upgradeability when there is an audience to cater to that doesn't care?
>upgrading anything
You're supposed to throw it out every 2 years
Sup Forums really shouldn't have a problem with bga
It's almost like you're a bunch of faggot teenagers studying to make iphone apps
Doesn't this bring up the true sprits of enthusiasts?
You should be asking yourself why you are not considering 6c12t intel coffee lake laptops
Sauce? Why would you post that image without a youtube link?
Thinkpad P50 or P51. I love my P50.
>hp laptops dont have soldered RAM
God bless our HP overlord and its laptop mobos and printers
resoldering BGA is very fucking easy with the correct tools
>not doing your research before buying a laptop
What kind of dumbass even gets themselves into this situation and then doesn't know their machines capabilities?

An increase in Semitism without a corresponding increase in countersemitism. Supply side has been steadily increasing its willingness to fuck over their customers. Demand side has been steadily decreasing its intelligence.
>What happened, Sup Forums?
