You lack the knowledge of the AI Max chip. You can’t have slots. It requires soldered memory because it’s unified.

Please don't turn this site into Slashdot or Reddit. You can make your point without being rude.

		Rude wasn’t my intent, it’s just a weird chip.

It requires soldered memory because no one makes LPCAMM2 modules for LPDDR5x

They do.

Backordered, sure. Call me when I can go to Microcenter and pick up a set.

		https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadp/th... That particular source is sold out but it's not where a computer manufacturer is getting parts. The availability is real. You can buy a thinkpad with LPCAMM2 right now, and in fact you've been able to buy that laptop for over a year. And you can get it with 64GB modules, which is what you'd need to set up 128GB on a 256 bit memory bus.

"because it's unified" is definitely not the reason.

Here’s a unified AMD with an NPU, and socketed ram:

Note that it’s two generations old, and the newer ones have soldered ram.

		Every AMD and Intel APU has had unified memory for many generations, as have mobile devices. It's sad how many people Apple's marketing has misled about something that's been standard in the industry for ages.
