Why can we expand RAM in our PCs and laptops but not our phones?
In: Technology
* In order for RAM to be used by a device, it needs to be attached.
* You can either:
* permanently attach it to the motherboard
* install it in a socket
* Directly attaching it to the motherboard takes slightly less space than having a socket the RAM needs to go into.
* On desktop computers, and many laptops, that little extra space isn’t a big deal.
* But on some laptops and all smartphones that tiny amount of space is needed for something else, like a battery.
