    A little random but is there any older laptops which contain Xeon CPU's? Or the ability to be upgraded to one?

    Also any laptops that can take a shed load of Ram atleast 32gb.

    I know these are random asks, but I'm curious and want to do a little project :)

    Dell Precision mobile workstations would be your best bet.

    Mobile Xeons started at SKL, which is also the 2nd generation to have soldered CPUs. All Clevos with a desktop CPU can have their CPUs replaced with a Xeon, no advantage over a Core or a Core K SKU aside from ECC however.
