Bacon and Zombies, 2 of my favorite things !!!
I'd say 60% of laptops at security conferences I've been to are
Lenovo, 30% Apple and 10% Dell/other.
Not advocating either way just bringing up the nugget of info that I'm
aware of.

Be careful with Lenovo, some folks think it has a bad security
reputation. Why? *shrug*, not sure but maybe because it's a
Chinese company with ties to the PRC and IIRC, there was a BIOS flaw.

Subject: Re: cheap laptop with 32G or 64G recommendations
I have an almost two-year old Lenovo W530 with 32G ram.
I've been happy
with it. I don't find myself taking advantage of the ram
(w/ VMWare
Workstation) as much as I thought I would.

that is a hoss.
Izaac's suggestion of using the cloud is good, if you
can do it. Cloud services have come a long way--fast
and easy to set up complex environments. Great
article comparing performance and costs:

Hello,
Any recommendation, not looking for anything
fantasy, my understanding
it should be quardcore, with more than DIMM0 slot
so each can have 8G.
wind7-64bits to work. I want to use it as a server
or practice logical

"Cheap" and "64GiB of RAM" are incompatible concepts
in laptops.
There is no earthly reason you should need to carry a
machine like that anyway. If for some reason you need
something so equipped, get yourself a cloud instance
and connect to it. That's how you save money.
If you're stuck working in a completely isolated
environment, then work it into the contract. That's
the cost of being on an island.
