Earlier this year, Micron introduced their latest LPCAMM2 memory module, which comes as a middle-of-the-road solution to the use of DDR and LPDDR memory that uses screws to attach low-profile, low-power memory modules to laptops, as opposed to solder.
Recently, electronics repair equipment brand iFixIt has shown a Lenovo ThinkPad P1 (Gen 7) laptop that uses this LPCAMM2 memory module as an example of how low-power memory can be upgraded by users quickly and easily, without having to solder it to the motherboard.
The ThinkPad P1 laptop is seen using LPCAMM2 DDR5X memory, and this support was developed in collaboration with Micron to make this laptop the first to use this memory. iFixIt is the first accessory maker brand to take a look at this laptop thanks to a collaboration between them and Lenovo.
If you watch the video below, you only need to open the bottom frame and the battery side of this laptop to get access to this LPCAMM2 component. You can then remove the three screws that keep this component securely in place, and can change it at any time.
Another advantage shown on this LPCAMM2 memory is that each memory module is a dual-channel memory, so you no longer need two memory modules to take advantage of the extra data rate, and your laptop can use even more memory if it supports more memory slots. LPCAMM2.
This LPCAMM2 memory is expected to be used more widely in other laptops throughout the year.
