I don't want Surface with soldered ram, I want Surface with swappable ram

Lol
So soldered ram is "bad" just because he can't cheap out on hardware anymore and keeps ignoring the fact xiaomi has cheap soldered ram, because he wants surface he can't afford.

When doing efficiency tests, you should use efficient examples of the respective chips.

Comparing Shenker XMG is a bizarre choice. The hp probook with 7840hs can match m3 pro in cinebench efficiency test, but the results for 7840hs on this site are an aggregate including mini pcs... same goes for 8000 series, but the options aren't as good.

But you used an optimal laptop choice for meteor lake...

Atleast on a test like this use the right kind of laptops man...

Otherwise, interesting article, can't wait to see halo convertible options, but I'd love that proart foldy. (>Digital painter man)

I just noticed something (me and a friend are checking out why there are no 370 handhelds yet and if the 370 represents the high tdp model. From what I can see 15w=50% of 80w performance, which would suggest this is optimal at low limits.)

According to this according to the graphs the 370 gets 20 points per watt vs M3 28 and MP pro omitted for some reason, but according to the TDP range testing, it can achieve 621pnts in CB24 at 15w vs M3 601 points at 20w, which would mean it runs more efficient in multi core than even the M3, but does the tuning utility cap the the PL to 15w or does it allow for variation?

Only custom built desktop is left where we can add RAM or any other component as per our requirement.

Almost all of the manufacturers are going the route of everything soldered for better or worse. And those who are not doing it now will do it later.

Soldered RAM does bring benefit but it is expensive in the long run in case if one wanted to increase RAM for new requirements.

Personally I have built a desktop and every components are of my choice and since it is a desktop so no need to worry about thermal headroom, battery, upgrade ability etc.

Using the iPad Pro for portability (accessing the windows desktop via remote desktop).

But this workflow is not for everyone. So plan out accordingly and don't hope for the manufacturers to listen customers need. They will pump out products whether anyone likes it or not. Find out what works for you in a given time period and implement otherwise move on. Don't wait.
