        I still don’t understand, why this is seemingly no problem in any other application.

        Desktops, servers and even some chonkier laptops manage to work with regular (SO)DIMMs just fine.

          Normal DIMMs work fine but soldered RAM can just be much faster and in general better. It’s not an acceptable compromise on most desktops but for laptops which also has to be smaller and need to worry about stuff like battery life, it matters more.
