So, the APPLE stuff is soldered to the board? That would figure.

So, the APPLE stuff is soldered to the board? That would figure.
When I said soldered, I meant the whole CPU is hard attached to the motherboard with Strix Halo and Apple M series (just like most laptops have been for decades). There's no socket to upgrade the CPU years down the road. Some people seem to do that, but in over 25 years of building my own systems, I've never once upgraded a CPU on the same motherboard. I just build a whole new system. And after the first assembly I've almost never upgraded or changed the RAM configuration. The closest I've gotten with a CPU is putting a lesser CPU into a system while waiting for an RMA last year.
