    Soldered in, or upgradeable at least? The former would be a huge reason to never buy the newest gen of laptops.

    EDIT: Missed in article, yeah this would suck if they stick to soldered RAM for ultra-thins.

    Another problem manufacturers face is with notebooks that ship with soldered DRAM. In particular, ultrathin designs would need to be revamped to modify their configurations.
