Crucial LPCAMM2 RAM is here, and it fixes a long-standing gripe for laptop users: soldered memory. This new standard pairs speed with upgrade flexibility, landing in AI-ready systems that need more than just raw power.
Crucial LPCAMM2 RAM cuts bulk, keeps performance
Each module uses Micron LPDDR5X chips but drops the soldered limitation. The result? A compact stick that offers up to 64 GB of capacity with DDR5-8533 speeds while being less than half the size of a traditional SODIMM.
Apple's Vision Pro 2 may debut this year with the M5 chip, Wi-Fi 6, and a familiar design, according to FCC leaks.
Where Crucial LPCAMM2 RAM is supported now
Current compatibility is limited to select Intel-based laptops. Early support includes Lenovo’s ThinkPad P1 Gen7 and the Dell Pro Max 14/16 line. Wider adoption, including AMD and ARM, isn’t expected until 2026.
Why this memory format matters
Crucial’s modules stand out for more than size. Here’s what they’re bringing to high-performance laptops:
- Up to 1.5x performance boost
- User-upgradable design with no solder
- 64 GB per module
- Lower power use via on-module PMIC
- Built for AI, rendering, and multitasking
Pricing reflects early-adopter territory
The 32 GB module comes in at $232.99, while the 64 GB option sells for $451.99. As more laptops adopt the format, these prices should dip.
Crucial LPCAMM2 RAM gives control back to users
Speed is great. Control is better. With Crucial LPCAMM2 RAM, laptop owners finally get both no solder, no limits, no waiting on upgrades that never come.
