Am i wrong to think that for 1000 dollars this laptop should come with 32gb of ram? Though its great that one can upgrade the memory.

  What does "Linux laptop" mean? Are you basically paying $1000 for high quality drivers for all of the computer components? More importantly, if companies keep on releasing Linux laptops and only laptops we may really never see the Year of the Linux desktop :(

    Well linux on desktop mostly just works. Linux on laptops has been a headache for a while with awful battery life, trackpad issues, wifi issues and things like that. So personally I don't feel the need for any dedicated linux desktop release compared to the laptop space where I appreciate more of a guarantee that the drivers actually work and I won't spend all my time messing with linux internals trying to get it to work.

  To put things into perspective, Apple charges $400 to upgrade from $16GB to $32GB. So I’ll say that expecting 32GB RAM in a $1K laptop is a little too unrealistic.

    But Apple charges ridiculous premiums for everything. For example, at https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-12-gen-intel/configuration/edit https://frame.work/products/laptop-diy-12-gen-intel/configur... it's only $80 more for 32GB than for 16GB.

    I don't think you should use Apple to put upgrade pricing in perspective. They've used inflated pricing to extract extra money from a captive audience for many years. Other OEMs cannot demand similar premiums for commodity products.

      Yes, I know Apple prices are highly inflated. I was using it to highlight the unreasonable-ness, IMHO of course, of the above request.

    They use on-SoC RAM chips, essentially a cheaper HBM instead of just some random SO-DIMMS. I think a better comparison would be Dell or Lenovo who do the same thing HP does, and they too charge a lot for what are essentially OEM versions of Samsung and Hynix memory anyone can get.

  Not sure, what do other laptops in the same price segment offer these days? I admit it's been a while since I looked, but I really doubt anyone has 32gb on a 1000 dollars laptop, or even 1500.
