Makes sense, 16GB is sort of the new “normal” although 8GB is still quite enough for everyday casual use. “AI PCs” being a marketing term just like “AI” itself.

All I can think of:

Hi kids, do you like violence? Wanna see me stick nine-inch nails through each one of my eyelids? Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? Try 'cid and get fucked up worse than my life is?

Microsoft is desperate to regain the power they had in the 00s and is scrambling trying to find that killer app. At least this time they’re not just copying apples homework.

They either force it on everyone or bundle it in the enterprise package that businesses already pay for and then raise the price.

It never works, but maybe this time it will. I mean it won’t… But maybe.

And maybe that’s why it isn’t working. They try too hard to persuade or force you, giving people icky feelings from the get go… and they try too little to just make a product that people want.

Yeah, and solder it onto the board while you’re at it! Who ever needs to upgrade or perform maintenance anyways?

They do make the most of it though. Soldered RAM can be much faster than socketed RAM, which is why GPUs do it too.

My knowledge of electrical engineering has not shown that solder increases performance. Do you have some more information on this?

I think you mean unified (on-die) RAM can be faster.
