>>>I have Windows 10, though I've done it with Windows 7 as well.

>>>I have 2 primary machines - a laptop with 16 GB and a desktop with 32 GB.

>>>Both handle VM instances quite well.

>>>An SSD drive will definitely help.

>>Thank you. I don't use desktops, only laptops. I will see if, when I buy the next one, I can get it with 32 GB of RAM.

>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.
Yes, I have not see a laptop with more than 16 GB. I recently bought a Lenovo (for my daughter), the latest and the greatest; it had 16 GB and I don't remember the option for 32 GB. I will be buying a new laptop for myself soon so I will do more research.
