Apple has a memory problem and we’re all paying for it::Apple still sells expensive “Pro” computers with just 8GB of RAM and charges a fortune for more.

      Unfortunately, Apple’s worst habits trickle down to other manufacturers who see what they manage to get away with and start taking notes.

        This is what I worry about. I’d say that people should vote with their wallets, but that doesn’t do anything because every manufacturer follows along on stupid trends like this. Hopefully it dies at Apple this time and doesn’t spread.

        My next laptop is going to be a user upgradable one, maybe a framework. Apple can s my d.

          My comment wasn’t about PCs specifically, but consumer devices as a whole. Soldered RAM is an easy one, but soldered SSD, USB-C-only laptops, lack of 3.5mm, internal batteries, use of glue in manufacturing, etc. In many of these cases you can probably find another manufacturer who did it first on a specific model, but what Dell or HTC or whoever did simply doesn’t influence the market the way Apple’s decisions do.
