RAM-free SBCs with SODIMM slots - anchor - 08-20-2026
With RAM prices and availability becoming a problem, why not make SBCs without onboard RAM and use a standard laptop SO-DIMM slot instead?
This could have several advantages:
- Much lower base price
- No need for separate 4/8/16/32 GB SKUs
- Users can choose the amount of RAM they need
- RAM could be upgraded later
- Less dependency on onboard RAM availability
Any thoughts?
