• Samsung has announced that LPCAMM memory modules for laptops will be arriving next year. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  These replace the existing SODIMMs - or more often, replace memory soldered directly to the motherboard. The modules are 128 bits wide so you only need one of them - and they're about the same size as a single SODIMM - and are designed to use low power, high speed LPDDR5X chips.
  
  They will be available in capacities from 32GB to 128GB, which means that finally we won't be stuck with laptops that have everything you need except they ship with 8GB of RAM and it's solder in place.
  
  I expect to see these modules soldered in place, because laptop manufactures seem to be driven as much by malice as anything else.
