Battery life, cooling, and possibly even physical dimensions. Which is why the big heavy gaming PCs with lots of RAM have laughable battery life.

  I'd sacrifice all three of those to be able to use a Windows VM with reasonable performance.

    If you're fine with it being large, having no battery life/using a lot of power, why are you buying a laptop at all?

      So I can take it home every day. I'm not _fine_ with it, but right now I need 32gb of ram more than I need those things.
