Laptops with soldered ram should not be made and sold at all. It has almost zero upgrade ability. For me machines like that ale NO buy.
DELL selling downgraded components in its AMD version compared to INTEL? Not surprised and it's why I don't buy DELL and/or INTEL:
- "Intel to pay AMD $1.25 billion in antitrust settlement"
- "Intel stuck with $1.45 billion fine in Europe for unfair and damaging practices against AMD"
I don't want to imagine the price difference between intel vs AMD surely between $300-$500.
In any case, they only work for me with an ultrabook with Zen 4 7040 Phoenix, the rest are rehashes from 2 years ago.
Very few Intel laptops will be sold due to the great demand from the public who prefers AMD in laptops
