    That is definitely some serious memory.
    Face it, not everybody needs that much, but some systems would gladly use it.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see anywhere that it is only for laptops:zzz:

    I'm pretty sure? SODIMM RAM is designed for laptops?:eek:

    The multimedia guy in my department here at work regularly kills the 8 GB of RAM on his Mac Pro when he's using Illustrator and Photoshop - I'm sure he'd love to have 8 GB in his MBP. He has 4 in it now and complains about switching back and forth from AI to PS. It really depends on the work you're doing with the device.

    He must be editing some enormous files in Photoshop. While I use it, my ram usage almost never goes above 2 gigs, and I usually have iTunes and a couple browser tabs going at the same time.

    unless you're doing video editing or CAD 3D (which I don't see why you would on a laptop anyway), you're wasting money. Besides you have to have a 64 bit OS in order to access above 3.4 gb anyway. If you're just surfing on playing some games or office work, that is extreme overkill.
