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?"
