Laptops With 128GB of RAM Are Here (theverge.com)

Posted by BeauHD on from the dare-I-say-overkill dept.

An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Brace yourself for laptops with 128GB of RAM because they're coming. Today, Lenovo announced its ThinkPad P52, which, along with that massive amount of memory, also features up to 6TB of storage, up to a 4K, 15.6-inch display, an eighth-gen Intel hexacore processor, and an Nvidia Quadro P3200 graphics card. The ThinkPad also includes two Thunderbolt three ports, HDMI 2.0, a mini DisplayPort, three USB Type-A ports, a headphone jack, and an Ethernet port. The company hasn't announced pricing yet, but it's likely going to try to compete with Dell's new 128GB-compatible workstation laptops. The Dell workstation laptops in question are the Precision 7730 and 7530, which are billed as "ready for VR" mobile workstations. According to TechRadar, "These again run with either 8th-gen Intel CPUs or Xeon processors, AMD Radeon WX or Nvidia Quadro graphics, and the potential to specify a whopping 128GB of 3200MHz system memory."

    ... with 3 kB RAM, 8-colour TV display with 176x184 pixels, and magnetic tape storage.

    I bet it is just as fun as this machine. At least for me.

      My slide rule laughs at your dependence on electricity! I'd use my abacus, but it's harder to do square roots on it.

      You had flint tools? We just had to imagine the numbers in our heads.
