Windows 10: Is the RAM soldered for these Toshiba?

Toshiba lite S55-C5138 (another question for this model is, is this 4k or just supports 4k external monitors)

Soldered Rams in laptops trend , are they any good ?

The trend toward soldered in RAM is easy to explain. It reduces manufacturing costs.

Laptops are a competitive business. Manufacturers must reduce costs where they can or they don't last. Many haven't. For many buyers their priorities are, price, price, and price, not necessarily in that order. It is an old saying. Maybe too old for some.

The restrictions to expandability is no problem to most buyers. A laptop is an appliance. You buy it, you use it until it no longer meets your needs, then you replace it. Simple as that.

Soldered in RAM is hardly new. The original Apple MAC introduced in 1984 had soldered in RAM with no provision for upgrades. I am sure it wasn't the first.

 

Soldered Rams in laptops trend , are they any good ?

So lately I am coming across a lot of new laptops of the Intel's 8th or 9th generation that comes with a soldered single stick ram that is either 8 or 16 GBs , they usually come with an additional slot for expand-ability .

Now what's with this trend really ? hadn't it been for a while now that rams are being sold in combo packs so to enable dual channel bus on installation mind you most laptops came pre-bundled by these ?

So are these new soldered rams capable of integrating in dual channel mode with any other rams or the manufacturers are just going cheap without thinking ? and why is it even a trend to solder an 8 GB on a 32 GB capable board which would render maximum capacity on upgrade 24 GBs just ?

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
