It's not easy finding laptops that will support 32 GB, especially ones that have an SSD drive and where the manufacturing of the laptop is aiming for a lighter footprint.

Many of the "high end" ones only go to 16. If you actually find a good i7 laptop with an SSD drive and 32 GB of memory (and preferably that doesn't weigh more than 7 lbs) and it goes for under 2K, I'll be really curious.
