Dell Introduces Precision Laptop With 32GB RAM
That's more RAM than all the computers in my home combined.
Do you have some serious business going on with your laptop? Is it more of a mobile workstation then a laptop? Then you probably need a good bit of memory. The problem with most mobile computers is that they can't take as much memory as desktop, but Dell has a solution for those who crave more RAM on the go.
Dell has announced the Precision M6500, which it calls the "world’s most powerful 17” mobile workstation." Helping it make that claim is that it will support up to 32 GB of system memory in the Dell Precision M6500. It also packs an Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processor and Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M.
Those who don't need that sort of memory could also consider the M6500’s little brother, the Precision M4500, which is now available with 16GB of memory.
Such applications of mobile workstations with so much memory are in the oil and gas field, where they can review larger slices of the earth to find oil, enabling faster and more accurate drilling to find oil and gas reserves. Other applications may also involve CAD/CAM engineering as well as work with fluid dynamics.

What's the point of putting an extreme edition CPU when you can't overclock it due to the cooling limitations?
this is for buissness use,
you dont overclock in buissness it makes the device less reliable and the company will buy multiple laptops they dont want to void the garenty on that many laptops/computers
how many buissness actually overclock there computers for normal office workers?
my guesss is practically nill
This is true, there are indeed serious memory limitations in current petrology sector computing. Be glad that, for the sake of more efficient industry, this commerial product emerged because few groups will request bespoke builds due to reliability evaluation problems.

extreme edition CPU = overclock
We do a lot of work with virtualisation technology on laptops, typically developing against enterprise level business applications.
I currently have several virtual machines on my laptop and have to continually shut-down / reboot to cycle them round because I don't have the memory to boot them all at once.
a 32GB Laptop is amazing ... I could run half a dozen inter-active servers, testing load balancing configurations, parallel processing, and client-server applications all from a single laptop!
