Hell, even Dell who came up with the standard chose to switch to soldered memory on the brand new XPS laptops instead of using their own CAMM standard ^because ^money.

When something isn't in mass production yet it costs a ton extra to make so I'm going to do a hot take and give Dell a pass.

Also soldering remains unbeatable when it comes to making the thinnest and lightest device possible.

If they just installed decent memory from factory you wouldn't need swappable memory modules
