I've never owned a laptop that didn't have upgradeable RAM.

I also don't pay for Apple products so that might be why. Vote with your wallets and stop buying their overpriced metal bullshit.

The ancient MacBook in question has a firmware limitation and thus only supports 4gb, it was already upgraded from 2gb iirc (black 2007 MacBook 3,1). My current laptop has 16gb soldered, too bad that the hinge will die again before the ram becomes insufficient

Holy crap that's a long lived laptop.

I’m still using my 2014 MBP as a daily driver. They’re surprisingly long lasting. Only thing I’m rolling with still that’s older is a Lenovo X220 that I use to play a starship bridge simulator with haha.
