minus-squaredogdeanafternoon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down1·1 month agoYeah I assumed that’s what you meant. That machine still uses an SoC with embedded ram. It’s not possible to upgrade it. It’s more repairable than previous designs, which is great, but that’s different than being upgradable.
