If most people are like me, they like socketed RAM because they can buy the cheaper low end model and immediately add RAM.
But now that the whole industry is apparently going to non-socketed RAM, I don't think this is going to be much of a differentiator anymore.
If there was an XPS or ThinkPad with a Ryzen and socketed RAM, I would have already bought it... but if the choice is between a $1400 non-socketed MacBook or a $1400 non-socketed ThinkPad... that's a tough choice.
