a w520 from 2012 can run 32gb of ram natively. It has 4 socketed ram slots.
More than likely some form of cursed engineering laptop lol, that or a shitpost.
Most modern laptops can do 64 gb of ddr4. It's expensive but doable. Like most U series CPUs are limited at 64 gb. Something with a xeon mobile chip will probably see a lot more.
yeah, we've seen non mobile chips being used in laptops before, that could very well be the case for that machine as well.
Would be expensive as fuck and a flagship machine, but for an engineer working on cad and simulations, it's about what you're going to get.
Xeon mobile is something else entirely. It's a laptop chip. Something like this

yeah, i was just pointing out that we've seen desktop chips in laptops before, it's not common, but it has happened, and will likely continue to happen.
