64GB Laptop?

[alepanz]

Hi guys do you know if a laptop that can go up to 64GB exists?

 

[AntiZig]

I'm assuming you mean 64Gb of RAM? Afaik yes they do exist in desktop replacement class, but I've only seen specced up to 32Gb.

What would you need that much ram in a laptop for though?

Edit: actually I take that back, there's no processors that support 64gb ram on mobile platform

Hi

Umm there IS Dell lappy that supports up to 192 GB of ram....

I think its around $8000....

All the best Brett

 

[AntiZig]

oho, sweet, could you give a link?

@Brett. You sure it's a lappy? I know the T7500 supports upto 192GB or ram, but that's a workstation.

There are laptop out there that use the SB-E desktop cpu and comes with 4 RAM slot and when the very expensive 16GB SODIMM is available, 64GB RAM on a laptop is possible:

Hi

You may well be right....there was a thread here about it.....but at my age you forget precise details lol...

Whatever it was , it was Dell , it was 192 GB , it was over $8000 lol..

All the best Brett

Cheers Brett! I'll have a hunt for the thread, I'm kinda curious as to what an 8grand, 192GB lappy would look like, lol. I wonder if it makes coffee and snacks?

These are the two best I could find I thing you could replace the ram if you really wanted too, giving it 64gb.

First question that popped into my mind was already asked by AntiZig: Why would you need 64GB of RAM?

 

[proskillr]

The HP envy 15 and dell m6500 both have four ram slots, not sure if the cpu supports 64 though.

Heres another 4 slot laptop

I found a form in which they want 192 GB but it is a server build(non-laptop)

I only managed to find one thing but not even sure if it is correct.

That's not laptop SODIMM.

 

[AntiZig]

alright, so in the back of my mind I was correct in my first statement just couldn't remember where it came from, haha.

but the question still stands, what could one possibly need 64gb of ram for? That's like server grade amounts of ram and surely you don't want to be running a server on a laptop?

PS> on a side note: that eurocom clevo case has 5.1 sound system on it.

 

[chudddds]

my commodore has 64k

Maybe using a generous portion of the 64GB RAM as a RAM disk for video production (assuming the need for video editing on the go function).

First question that popped into my mind was already asked by AntiZig: Why would you need 64GB of RAM?

We teach software products and going on site with portable HDD and wait for students to copy the 20Gb files is a waste of time.
We're thinking having a laptop+access point so they can simply remote into the VMs hosted in HyperV

 

[alepanz]

Ok for the 4 slots but I can't find SODIMM 16GB, the maximum I see is 8Gb

 

[andrewcarr]

There is no laptop with 64GB or ram yet sorry
