I am always wondering if there is any laptop with 4 RAM slots, so I can install 128GB ram myself for my special use case. Any ideas?
Laptop with 4 RAM slots

Maybe they want to open more than 10 tabs in Chrome?
I have about 25 on average open with 8 GB RAM, and on multiple windows. Not really a problem if just using browser on itself.
16GB or 32 GB is more than enough for a laptop form factor. above that is just wasting money on laptop, and would be better of with desktop
More likely they want to run VMs.
But think how super duper speedy that PC will run! (/s)
There are workstation class laptops. HP Zbooks for example, have 4 memory slots and support higher memory capacities.
eg Zbook Fury https://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/GetDocument.aspx?docname=c0814…
Very popular with architects that need mobility and also need to run tools that need gobs of RAM.
Google: Laptop 128GB RAM — that gives you workstation class laptops from Dell, Lenovo and HP. Not all them have 4x SO-DIMM slots, as there seems to be 64GB DDR5 SIMM available.
Alternatively, run remote desktop to a workstation desktop.
It’s very uncommon in consumer laptops.
However, the MSI Titan GT77 has 4 DDR5 Sodimm Slots and the older GT76 had 4 DDR4 slots
The GT77 costs $6099You are looking for workstation laptops. Normal consumer laptops rarely have more than 2, I cant even think of one off the top of my head.
Be ready to pay workstation/business pricing.
DDR5 also has a spec for 64gb sticks, but I am yet to see a 64gb sodimm module. I imagine they will arrive as ddr5 production ramps up. May be worth waiting.

Look at professional laptops. Dell Precision, HP Zbooks etc.
Would help stating the special use case.
You would be looking at a desktop man,
Dont really think a laptop to have 4 slots. and why you need 128GB ram on a laptop ? its too much RAM, Put it on a desktop.
