Can anyone recommend a comparable notebook that supports more than 16GB of RAM?
As great as this computer looks, I find myself doing doing more and more data crunching work that would benefit hugely from having more memory. But I also travel enough that a desktop (or desktop replacement laptop) just won't cut the mustard.
If this laptop has SO-DIMM slots then it supports more than 16GB RAM. 32GB RAM sticks are available and compatible even if Intel doesn't claim they are. Campuspoint tested them with the Lenovo ThinkPad T480, for example.
I know that it's not exactly the same type of product (13vs15"), but I've been myself highly considering this xps13 previously and switched off primarily because of this 16gb issue.
I went for the Thinkpad X1E instead, and I have to say the experience has been nearly perfect so far (small minus for the battery performing far from what they announced).
It's fairly light for a 15", has plenty of ports, good screen (I'm using the mate screen), has 2 ram and pcie ssd slots, supports up to 64gb ram - future proof I'd say), and overall performances are just great.
The Dell precision 5520 supports 32 GB of RAM, I'm presently running it in that configuration at the moment, it has an nvidia graphics card unfortunately which I had a couple of issues with until I uninstalled the nvidia drivers and just ran it off the Intel GPU
