There are pros and cons.

Pro, you can get tighter timings more easily.

Con, while you can upgrade--you're going to have to toss your entire old CAMM module and entirely replace it. E.g. you have 16GB of RAM, you can no longer keep a DIMM and just partially-upgrade to 32GB or 24GB. Which is more ewaste. Because CAMM is a dual channel solution, so to have two CAMM pads you're need a sever-class quad-channel setup.


Also, windows never touches the metal. Framework also doesn't require you to have the dumb copilot key!

Laptops either have RAM soldered or only 1 slot available anyways. So this is still better then any other laptop. And the only way forward when building a modular laptop since Intel and AMD now require either soldered or LPCAMM2. Soldered being the cheapest option for manufacturers.
