Soldered RAM cannot be swapped — you're thinking of modules.
No laptop with actually soldered RAM lets you upgrade it by swapping modules. That’s the whole point of soldering: it’s permanent.
What you probably mean are laptops with replaceable RAM modules, like the Framework or older ThinkPads. Framework uses standard SO-DIMM slots — not soldered. Some newer Dells and a few others use CAMM modules (a different form factor, but still replaceable). Neither is “soldered.”
If you want upgradeable RAM, skip any laptop that lists “soldered” in the specs. Look for “SO-DIMM” or “CAMM” slots. Framework is the most flexible, but plenty of business-class laptops still have sockets. The idea that you can “swap a module” on a soldered board is a contradiction — you’d be swapping the entire motherboard, which is what Framework does with its mainboard upgrades. That’s not a RAM swap; that’s a full CPU/RAM/storage replacement.
Framework’s mainboard swaps are great. But they’re not “upgrading soldered RAM.” They’re replacing the whole computer’s brain. Two different things.
