Seen a few companies say laptop supports 64gb ram (ASUS G752VT or the ROG G752VL)
but seen no laptops that come with that 64 installed.

Now I just want this pre-installed
Any seen a laptop like that?
I am a hardcore gamer so need to max some things, but am bedridden so unless it comes pre-installed it is next to impossible to upgrade

why do you need that much ram? 16 is all you need, anything above is just overkill. i havent seen laptops with that much ram pre-installed, even if they do make them it seems like a waste of money
 


Agreed.
It's rare to need more than 8GB.
16GB is mainly future proofing, and 64GB for gaming is not only pointless but actually decreases the battery life.

If you've got the budget for a good laptop then I suggest something like THIS:

- 75Hz, IPS panel
- GSYNC
- 980M or similar

Probably starts at around $1500USD. http://www.sagernotebook.com/GTX-980M-G-SYNC/

Thinking about it and reading everything just needed more ram cause I use my current laptop as my every day machine (games, web browsing, streaming music, tv, or movies, some word processing and everything else). I guess my knowledge of building a computer is way out of date been almost 20 years since I built my first desktop and now that I can't was trying stuff most power ram, vram and everything in a pre-built
 


That much RAM won't help you in games, just get the fastest CPU and Video card you can afford in a laptop, that model will have enough RAM to play games as well as it can. Likely will be 16 GB.

If you really want to get a laptop with 64 GB of RAM for some reason, if the laptop can take it, www.xoticpc.com can configure it for you with that much RAM. For this http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-gt80s-titan-sli-274.html?startcustomization=1 you are looking at an extra $365 and up over the stock 16 GB sticks. You can get 32 GB for only $70 though, at least for now while there is a sale for that.

I try to keep a drivers current using any auto updates and going websites of manufactures once a month. Most games run great but a few (XCOM2, RIFT, and a few others) just seem to eat my VRAM and I am lucky to get 9 to 12 fps)
Now I guess all I knew is way out of date cause I was falling back on my first computer I built (Pentium 100 with a WD 120mb hard drive)

Many people needs much more memory, not everybody uses the computer to surf and play.
For example if you need to do simulations of fluids o deal with very big datasets the more memory you have the better.
Im my department all PC have 64GB and sometimes we need to send tasks to a server much more powerful.
Unfortunatelly most computers only have 16GB.
But you can find some Zbook with 32GB and Thinkpad with 64GB and xeon, and more powerful Titancomputer or Eurocom .
Even some specialized laptops with 2 processors, but very expensive.

And in this year old thread, the OP says:
"I am a hardcore gamer...."

So....fluid dynamics and big datasets are not the consideration here.
