I think 16 is getting to the end of its usefulness in a laptop these days, but finding ultrabooks with 32 is still rather difficult (surface, XPS, ...?). Truth

Truth is the OEMs are just trying to move product, their mission isn’t to be the rising tide that improves compute capability for society. High competition, low margin business in the PC world and most consumers don’t know enough about computers to understand what they’re buying - just look at how many people buy “gaming” computers at Walmart or Costco.
- mattmanser 6y agoReally? I got a 16gb laptop in Feb 2015 and I' doubt I'd get more than that if I bought a new one today. I've never seen it get even close to max memory. Work-wise, at least. If it was a gaming machine I'd probably buy 32gb.
- vbezhenar 6y agoAFAIK only few months ago Intel released CPU with LPDDR5 support. And LPDDR4 does not support more than 16 GB. Not sure about AMD.

- Normille 6y ago>I think 16 is getting to the end of its usefulness in a laptop these days.. Seriously? What are you people doing on your laptops to need so much RAM? I'm producing graphics and doing image manipulation on a 7 1/2 year old MacBook Air with 8GB RAM [I've even done the occasional bit of video editing] and I've never felt that it was struggling.
