what about an amazing 14" with the quality screen of a MacBook, a newer Ryzen 7 4800U/H, 32/64GB RAM and a PCIe 4.0 Drive.

And no RAM/SSD is soldered

As much as I hate it, I think it makes business sense for vendors to solder. You can "upgrade" by buying new. I can't imagine the business value of such a laptop - esp now that hardware improvements are slowing down (for the typical use case)

What about dead SSDs or RAM defects? You swap an entire machine just for those components? And what if that 512GB drive doesn't fulfills the requirements anymore?

Time for geeks everywhere to practice their de-soldering skills.
