   I googled for that and came up with "The Precision T7500 workstation sports,   
   count 'em, 12 memory slots, each of which can take a PC10600 stick of up to   
   16GB at 1333 MHz, reports Computerworld."

   ...but it's not a laptop.   
      
   Nevertheless..   
      
   "So just how much does 192GB cost? Well, you do the math: $1,800 for hardware   
   plus $40,800 for 12 RAM modules plus $8,000 or so for Dell's customary 20%   
   markup. Max that sucker out, and you're looking at a potential $50,000 price   
   tag.   
      
   Ouch. (Dell didn't officially announce prices beyond the T7500 unit itself.)   
      
   Would you spend 50 large for RAM bragging rights?"
