Any laptops with more than 32gb RAM?

I see some laptops with 32gb RAM max, are there any laptops that have more?(maybe 4x 16gb = 64gb?)

why would you need so much ram?

you wouldn't, he asked a foolish question....

just asking a question about 'if there is', not about necessity.

Have never seen a laptop with over 32 gig of RAM in it, the top workstation models all max out at 32.

No-one would pick a laptop to do the work that a system with more than 32 gig of RAM would be doing, even if it was possible to do with memory density, the cost vs possible sales would not make sense. Once you get to 32 and over gig of RAM you are looking at multi-CPU servers and super rendering machines that would also need multiple CPUs and large cases for cooling, video cards and RAM slots.

Probably for running multiple OS VMs (Virtual Machines). I personally have a need for a couple variations of Linux (standard, and special security builds), Windows (8 / 10), and MacOSX. A huge convenience to have all running and then swap between them. Only way to do this now is through a desktop workstation. Would love to be able to have something more portable.

My dell laptop has 286 gigs. Need it for audio files for my job. How about posting a helpful response rather than saying why would you need it. Love my Dell Latitude business laptop and the response.

1. "286 gigs" of RAM? Yeah, OK.
2. Don't ressurect old posts, please.
