You know, I'm so beat down by the state of apple laptops, I don't even care. I was all ready to spring for a new machine the day these dropped. Until I found out that they max the 13" model at 16 gigs of ram. I'm so pissed. I don't want the 15". That's what external monitors are for. I like the portable to be fucking portable. Jesus. I give up.

Why do you need 32 GB of ram?
- no1youknowz 8y ago
  Not the op, but I need 32 GB for:- - running virtual machines. - running MemSQL which requires a minimum of 8GB to be available. - running video editing software. There are probably other reasons, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

    Similar to VMs, I run a lot of docker containers, mostly with JVMs in them. I bought an Intel Hades Canyon with 32GB to run Linux on after the new MBPs didn't turn up at WWDC. Feeling somewhat relieved right now.

Who makes a 13" laptop with 32 GB RAM that is Thinkpad or the better models of Asus build quality? That much RAM in such a small form factor, regardless of thickness, also seems a hefty thermal challenge, but if someone out there is doing it, I'd like to take a look at them. I swung by the Lenovo and Dell sites, and only the Dell 14" will let you go up to 32 GB, but I've yet to see a 13" model.
