To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.

    Is it upgradeable? I assumed it would be soldered in.

    Maybe we’ll see, “Some soldering required,” instead 😂

      They explicitly said it has user upgradeable ram. The graphics card is soldered on though. Its basically gaming laptop hardware.

        Cool, I tried to find the info, but obviously didn’t find that detail. It makes sense, all things considered

        I dunno. There’s probably plenty of examples where companies soldered RAM instead of installing SODIMM slots, even when they had space. I agree that it makes sense, but sense isn’t always a factor when a company starts crunching the production cost numbers.

      Considering how repairable the steam deck is, I wouldn’t be surprised if it is upgradable
