Yeah, its specification was finalised only 6 months ago.

I don't even think there's a laptop that uses it yet

My laptop and I are very real! At least my laptop, from last year (a dell as someone mentioned). I even got to know how you screw one in and out since my IT basically told me to go fuck myself when I had to upgrade my laptop.

Hell, even Dell who came up with the standard chose to switch to soldered memory on the brand new XPS laptops instead of using their own CAMM standard ^because ^money.

When something isn't in mass production yet it costs a ton extra to make so I'm going to do a hot take and give Dell a pass.

Also soldering remains unbeatable when it comes to making the thinnest and lightest device possible.

If they just installed decent memory from factory you wouldn't need swappable memory modules
