Dell today announced world’s first laptop that offers up to 32GB RAM. According to Dell, the new Precision M6500 is the first 17” mobile workstation with Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition processor and Nvidia Quadro FX 3800M graphics solution available with this massive amount of memory. Dell also announced that the M6500’s little brother, Dell Precision M4500 will now support up to 16GB of memory.

Dell says customers that will benefit from the expanded memory footprint are those utilizing Computer Aided Engineering applications such as Ansys Workbench and Ansys Fluent. CAD/CAM engineering customers who work with fluid dynamics will be able to load larger data sets in memory, which will greatly improve their work time. Jobs that took multiple hours to complete can now be done in fractions of the time.

Dell Precision M6500 will have a starting price of $3,199, but if you want all the bells and whistles with 32GB RAM the price could easily reach $15,000. As 32GB memory itself will cost you $9,234.
