Those soldered low RAM ones are going to be in the dump a lot sooner.
They do not care about the planned obsolescence of it all.
They absolutely do care. It's a bonus for them.

Excellent. Hopefully some of them will have hardware that supports #openBSD that I can pick up for pennies on the dollar. I believe the #thinkpad x1 carbon is already on soldered RAM. I can see many in the #Linux crowd stand to profit handsomely from this, given their much more broad hardware support ๐
