    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.

      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.

        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.

          Alright, I’ll rephrase.

          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.
