      Just read that 6-core i9 laptops are coming out with 16GB of RAM and like, what the flying fuck? Why has RAM leveled out on laptops for like, a decade? You’re giving me 6 cores, 4GB VRAM, 4K screen… are i9 chipsets seriously not supporting 32GB still? Seems completely absurd.

      I’m honestly really, really confused by this, the fact that the high end has plateaued for so long WRT RAM. When every app is a browser, and every tab on my browser is Moore’s Law-ing its RAM use, I just don’t understand how the hardware crowd looks at 16G and says “good enough.”

      My laptop is a nowadays getting outdated Ivy Bridge i7 and has 32GB RAM. It's not the chips, it's laptop manufacturers being idiots. Clevo has/had 4-slot models like mine that will do 32.

      I know some mobile chipsets from Intel absolutely do cap out at 16/don’t support 4-slot designs at all. It’s good that there are 32GB options out there, but it seems like we should be at 16GB DIMM size for 2 DIMM designs, now. 32GB should be available for all high-end machines.

      Hadn’t seen Clevo stuff before; looks interesting, for its targeted market. Spec selection look great.

      It's basically a Taiwanese OEM that gets rebranded/resold by various distributors. Quite decent and serviceable boxes.

          If I ever go back to PC hardware I might give them a shot. For all its faults, the Mac stuff still does blow competitors out of the water in some meaningful ways (trackpads are a massive thing for me, plus accurate colorspace repro on displays; few OEMs get those right. :\)

          If the MBP’s still cap out at 16GB when it comes time for me to order a new machine, though, I might jump ship.

          Did a little reading; it’s the LPDDR3 limitation that seems to be the cause of so many vendors capping at 16GB. No support for LPDDR4 until Cannon Lake, and desktop DDR4 (and associated controllers) are too hungry to reach the battery perf they’re looking for.

          That's only for deeply embedded laptops though. AFAIK there is no such thing as an LPDDR3 (SO)DIMM, that's only for soldered-on configurations. So it's mostly a problem for Apple-style "screw modularity, we're making a monolithic brick" products.
