32 gigs of DDR4 260 pin RAM for the new laptop. I've had to hold off on building the VR world on that because of low resources, and porting it all back to my Thread Ripper PC is a pita. **** all that.
A lot of times you'll see PC's/Laptops with low end RAM for a lot less than a maxed out system, and you can buy RAM and install it yourself for a lot less than what mfg's mark up and install in their builds.
