The below is a list of laptops that have 4 memory slots, and in most cases, Quad Core CPUs (some are Core 2, most are i7 - I believe only the i7s support 8GB per channel. I've left the Core 2s in as they are a lot older therefore cheaper and 16GB could suit some people).
I'll try to keep it up to date, at least until I finally purchase one - I haven't found a list as comprehensive as this one.
**Good tip for finding number of slots**
Google one of the below;
i7 "4 sockets" site:memorystock.com
i7 "slots: 4" site:crucial.com
----------------------LIST BEGINS--------------
**NOTE BEST**
- Some of these laptops are available with different CPU types - to take 32GB of RAM it HAS to be a QUAD CORE i7 (ONLY the i7 was\IS available as a quad core, BUT SOME i7 chips are DUAL core - even if a dual core laptop has 4 slots, only two will work and i7s can only take 8GB per channel. Quad core i7s usually have QM in the name).
- I am not responsible for any mistakes on the list below. This is intended as a research guide only, you should confirm with another source before purchasing anything.
