Now, if only I could get a MackBook Pro with 32GB of system memory... Does anybody happen to know why that is such a difficult thing to achieve? It's amazing that, starting next year, there will be mainstream graphics cards with more memory than top-of-the-line laptops.
- M4v3R 11y agoDo you need 32GB of RAM in a laptop? 16GB ought to be enough for anybody ;). Sarcasm aside, this is probably purely business driven decision. The tech is there and it's nearly zero difference for the manufacturer to put either 8GB or 16GB dies on the board. It's the same as with SSD's - companies have to milk existing capacity tier to offer users next ones, otherwise they will have lower profits.
- kozukumi 11y agoI don't think you could get 16GB SO-DIMMs until earlier this year could you? I know you can get 32GB in a W550s which is probably the thinnest/lightest laptop capable of 32GB.
- rincebrain 11y agoCan you? I have a W550s and didn't see anyone hocking 16GB SODIMMs even earlier this year.
- kozukumi 11y agoYeah a colleague ordered one about 2 weeks ago. Lovely machine and Lenovo have done an amazing job with the weight. I still prefer the T series over the W series as I don't need that much power and prefer the much lighter machine.
