Is soldering components an acceptable engineering trade-off?
>>109242848What are you trading off?

>>109242848Mostly, yes. It really does improve the electrical connectivity and allows very dense connections. That's why we use proper circuit boards and don't just breadboard everything all the time.
>>109245155Kek'dYou win the thread.
>>109245155then stop complaining about unupgradable ram
>>109242848Yes, it is often an extremely attractive one. A common thing I used to lament before I understood the technical background for example was soldered RAM, however it has massive advantages:> you just buy the IC and reflow solder it to the PCB, you're not manufacturing separate RAM PCBs or paying someone else for theirs, this lowers costs> the IC is directly soldered to the PCB and can be thermally attached to some large thermal mass in the board to facilitate cooling> lower profile for thinner electronics> improved signal integrity, you don't have a long connector to contend with when laying out the PCB> lpddr has lower power consumption than ddr both in the way it's designed, and by not necessitating increased termination resistor values to snub reflections introduced by the connectorRemovable RAM's only advantage is ease of repair/replacement, soldered is technically superior in essentially every way.
