A worthy Ultrabook appears: the ThinkPad X1 Carbon...
Eh, I think 8GB RAM for a laptop is pretty damn good. It's an ultrabook, not a server replacement!

I have 16GB in my laptop (Lenovo T430s). The chipset can support 32GB.

Is the RAM user upgradable? Otherwise it's an unconscionable $250 to go from 4GB to 8GB and no option to go higher.

Sometimes heap dumps can exceed 8GB.
