a relatively slow ARM SoC like it has?

You just reinforced my point

There is nothing stopping them to release SoC modules with more RAM in the future

When that time comes, I might change my mind

More RAM does not make a slow ARM SoC any faster.

If you point was that it is too slow in general compared to the price... fine agreed. But total amount of RAM is a really bad measure for "fastness" of a computer.

Alright, I'll rephrase.

32 GB is definitely nice for most (if not all) cases covered by a laptop. With that said, a lot of DDR5 systems are already on triple-digits. Also, it would be nice to have discrete RAM slots instead of having everything on SoM.
