      Fair enough, enthusiast laptops do. I can’t think of a sub $1,000 mainstream consumer laptop that is.

        Pretty much every machine I’ve had open has upgradable ram. Unless the machine is the absolute thinnest of ultrabooks, the ram has been easily removed, replaced and upgraded.

          It doesn’t matter really what laptops you’ve owned, what matters is the landscape of new models.

          Pretty much every car I’ve owned is gas powered, but we agree the future of most cars is electric.

            I didn’t say owned.

            And trust me, plenty of non-electric cars will be sold today and tomorrow, same for laptops without soldered RAM.
