The Dell may support ECC, but as any workstation it's pricier than consumer grade desktop with equivalent performance. If you need it, you need it but usually individuals don't pay for that, their employers do.

- Modified3019 3y agoThere are some xeon thinkpads that have full fat ECC capability, however you need to be exceptionally rigorous in making sure that's what you are getting. Only some of the laptop xeon models support ECC, and it's not as simply as "higher cpu model number better", it's a fucked up matrix that intel loves to do. I believe that there might be issues with it not being enabled properly if you buy the machine with a minimum of non-ecc memory intending to switch it out, because lenovo does something fucky if you don't get ECC from the get go. I could be misremembering that last bit, it's been a couple of years since I looked at ECC capable workstation laptops. But yeah, when framework comes out with an ECC workstation laptop is when I'll finally consider getting a new laptop.
