The cost of a new mobo and RAM can't be worth it for the minimal improvements surely?

[gsnedders]

It's very much workload dependent: https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2894?vs=2892

Depends what you do with it. If you run VM servers, it might be well worth it.

Personally I'm looking for 64 GB for a work laptop, lots of VMs yes

So frustrating that max installable RAM usually isn't listed in the specs

[Out_of_Characte]

Thats because maximum capacity is determined by the CPU and the amount of slots available.

Just like a phone I bought years ago only listed a maximum micro-sd capacity of 32GiB even though the right formatting would allow 64 or 128. albeit being 'more wastefull' as the adress space didn't increase.

11th Gen+ Intel all support 64gb+ of RAM. If the laptop mobo supports 32gb dimms is another question all together.

Yep, used for development work so many VMs and such.
