Misc Links

  • General
    • Why is Lenovo moving to soldered RAM? This just makes me both mad and dissapointed... | Reddit
      • It’s fairly common on AMD laptops because the Ryzen APUs require a lot of memory bandwidth to perform well on graphics stuff. Many laptops just solder it to the board so that they can take advantage of LPDDR (stands for low-power DDR, and must be soldered as per spec) and also guarantees that they can run it in dual channel without having to worry about space for RAM slots.
      • The Lenovo T14 Gen 5 will have Sodimm ram, user replaceable.
      • Lenovo worked with Ifixit to improve the repairability of the laptop.
      • People siding with Lenovo are ridiculous. For example LPDDR5 are in abundance because of smartphones so basically Lenovo's using them to lessen manufacturing costs for more profit. LPDDR has higher speed than SoDIMM but in OP's post, they use the base LPDDR5 which is 4800, so no advantage in this case.
      • Lenovo's opting for soldered RAM is not about making the laptop price lower, it is to maintain or increase their profit margin. There is 0 benefit for the user in OP's case by going to soldered LPDDR5-4800.
