You loose performance by making RAM upgradeable, hope the new RAM design, where you can install ram as if it was soldered in, is coming soon:

You lose performance if you can't upgrade.

The amount of performance you lose is negligible compared to the amount of performance you lose in 5 years when the laptop's processor is out of date and there's barely enough ram to run a semi-heavy task.
