I would really love to get one of these, but they’re so goddamn expensive for a laptop with at most 32 GB of RAM! Yes, I know how great their build quality is and all that, but with my current financial constraint, it’s hard to justify that purchase…
Why would you ever need more than 32gb RAM in combination with a relatively slow ARM SoC like it has?
There is nothing stopping them to release SoC modules with more RAM in the future, when there are ARM SoCs that that that much faster that more RAM would make sense. IMHO right now even 32GB RAM is total overkill for an RK3588s.
If you point was that it is too slow in general compared to the price… fine agreed. But total amount of RAM is a really bad measure for “fastness” of a computer.
32 GB is definitely nice for most (if not all) cases covered by a laptop. With that said, a lot of DDR5 systems are already on triple-digits. Also, it would be nice to have discrete RAM slots instead of having everything on SoM.

You just reinforced my point
When that time comes, I might change my mind
More RAM does not make a slow ARM SoC any faster.

Alright, I’ll rephrase.
