Can you please consider offering ECC memory in your laptops?
ECC is a very important technology for businesses. Errors in non-ECC memory, while somewhat rare, are not once-in-lifetime-of-universe, they are more like 1 bitflip per year kind of thing, which for some businesses can be considered worth talking about.
There is a demand for this, and almost no one is doing this.
The only other company that has done it so far is Lenovo, and if you know anything about privacy and hidden adware and history of spyware - you will not buy any Lenovo product.
ECC memory would require a Xeon, but it would be possible to underclock it to bring it to a mobile heat emission profile.

- Already__Taken 9y agoIsn't mobile more like 15W though?
- mciancia 9y agoDepends on the definition of mobile I guess.
- noir_lord 9y agoI've got a T470P (i7-7700hq), that's a 45W part in a 14" laptop. If I balls to the wall it I can kill the battery in 90 minutes (though they are swappable) but I average ~6 hours under actual work conditions (VMs and Intelligent). It spends the vast majority of time sat at a few percent utilisation but the processing power is there for those few second operations you run infrequently (build from scratch, indexing a large project etc). I love it frankly, not turned desktop on at home more than once or twice since July.
