64GB Laptop?

[alepanz]

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

 

[Pinhedd]

16GB SODIMM modules are not currently available, so no

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

you can have them install the software ahead of time with a DVD, then when you get there you connect their machines to your computer which hosts the license to run the software. Other option is to bring your own laptops for every student

It's not that easy the installation/configuration is about 30 mins and we can't afford that

 

[AntiZig]

you cannot afford, if the student is to study on their own machine, chances are they already have the copy of the software or you mail them the dvd ahead of time and ask them to install it on their own time.

It's going to take roughly the same amount of time (30min or so) no matter how much RAM you have.
The slow part of the installation process is taking place on the client side, not the server side.
-> Having 64GB of RAM is not going to make the client machines run faster.

 

[AntiZig]

you misunderstand, he wants to have 64gb ram so he can set up VM clients for students so it all runs from that one machine that has 64gb ram. Point is I don't think it's doable from the CPU/HDD end, but then I'm not an expert on virtualization.

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

Nothing to do with the topic about a laptop, but I just got one of those Dell 7500 workstations to setup for our 911 call room in the hospital yesterday. Has 6 RAM slots on the motherboard, and another 6 on a riser card, SAS controller on the motherboard with 4 SAS ports. It was under 8k though, but was not stuffed with RAM, they only have 4 because we run 32bit OS. Think it was between 4-5k.

Sager offers one with 32GB, but not yet 64... Hmmm, this is an interesting question...

2^64 bytes possible, theoretically... so we will be seeing higher and higher amounts of ram as prices go down and things get smaller... VMs takes up a lot of ram; In my field of network engineering where we virtualize routers/switches firewalls as a matter of course for training and testing.

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

16GB SODIMMs are now available: https://squareup.com/market/MemphisElectronicRetail/imm-g-d-lsod-ag-b-e-1

They're compatible with 5th-gen Intels. So any new laptop with 4 memory slots can have up to 64GB of RAM now!!!! And at only $325 per, that's not *too* bad. I was convinced that they would come out at $1000 or more, so this is a great day.

(I do a lot of virtualization, so I've been on the lookout for this for a long time)

 

[silentmethod]

This is great news! Do you have any recommendations on 5th gen Intel based laptops that can support 64gb of ram?

The ONLY one I've found so far is the MSI GT-80 Titan (http://www.ibuypower.com/Store/MSI-GT80-Titan-SLI-263-Gaming-Laptop). A slightly less expensive version is available on NewEgg here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152809&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Gaming+Laptops-_-N82E16834152809&gclid=Cj0KEQjw2v2sBRCazKGu3tSFz64BEiQAKIE1hnQkoLPwCL1Umf9fOLkRh520GP1pXP8YM1JQjjuHqQ8aAp6g8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds . That's the only one. Dell, IBM and HP haven't updated their mobile workstations with the Broadwell architecture (or if they have, they've removed two SODIMM slots - I'm looking at you and your stupid W550s, IBM). I'm certain there will be more available at some point this year, so I would wait unless you really feel like carrying around that 10lb beast.

Hey!
So it hasn't been released yet right?

 

[Mhelboy23]

I use my laptop every day for heavy usage tasks...If only there is a portable powerful pc that I can put in backpack everyday and go to work I will buy it...but unfortunately the only option right now is a laptop.
I deal with SQL processing, microsoft access data processing and other mapping tools that use a lot of RAM, for now I have 16gig of ram for my laptop wit 1TB of Samsung 850 PRO SSD upgrading to SSD gave my laptop's 5 times improvement on overall performance...

But knowing it can improve a lot more using PCI SSD and a bigger RAM makes me drool...lol
I wonder how much time I can save using this latest specs below.

This is my dream laptop as of September 2015


Screen 15.6” FHD 16:9 IPS Matte Display with G-SYNC Technology (1920x1080) (SKU SSC880)

Processor 6th Generation Intel® Skylake™ i7-6700K (4.0GHz 4.2GHz, 8MB Intel® Smart Cache) Overclocking 4.4Ghz (this is the latest quad core desktop grade core i7)

GPU NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 980M (8.0GB) GDDR5 PCI-Express DX11 (Maxwell) w/ G-SYNC™ Technology
Memory 64GB DDR4 2133MHz [4x16GB] Dual Channel Memory
SSD Drive(OS) 512GB Samsung SM951 M.2 PCIe SSD (Sequential Read: 2,150MB/s, Sequential Write: 1,500 MB/s)
HDD Storage 1 2TB 5400RPM [SATA II 3GB/s] (SKU HDD2B1)
HDD Storage 2 2TB 5400RPM [SATA II 3GB/s] (SKU HDD2B1)

You can buy this laptop here
Sager NP9758-S (Clevo P750DM)
http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9758s-clevo-p750dm-p-8643.html

for this particular config of mine cost around 3,000 USD
What amazing is that if you build this in a desktop PC with identical specs above.. it will cost you around 4 to 5K USD.

I'm still saving for it ..hopefully I can buy it next year ...

Here are the other options for Laptop's that support's 64 Gb ram.
You can configure it the way you want to, depending on your needs

Sager NP9778-S
Sager NP8657
MSI GT72 Dominator-019
MSI GT72 Dominator PRO
http://www.xoticpc.com/

hope xoticpc can give me a discount for promoting their website. lol

Wow!!! nice pic dude!! Absolutely nice to know about it

I also read about the P70 of lenovo that should be near to be released this year

BTW just wanted to share to you, I decided to do a bare metal install of Oracle Linux on my Asus G750JX
8 cpus (i7) and 32 GB on RAM , I need it because for the work so I sid enough of virtual Machines... yes unfortunately Im not using my envidia card, I will have to get a new hard drive for running windows separately , more buck to be expended but thats what I have ... $3KUSD sounds fair to me on the laptop your mentioning to me ..

That Eurocomm is built for the future as on the Crucial site it shows on 8GB ram chips available for that laptop. I haven't seen any 16gb ram chips for laptop yet.

the guy above told that there is already a sodimm for it... didnt check it out ... but still I have no news about the lenovo workstation

 

[orlbuckeye]

It uses a desktop processor and 64 Gb of ram. Not sure what kind but Crucial maxes out at 8 gb chips for notebooks. There is a big demand for larger memory for servers especially in business with many VM's.
