Now you can get ECC in a laptop, without spending tons (but still lots) of money. Lenovo's new P70 line has optional Xeon and ECC.
They claim to be the "First ever Intel Xeon power in a mobile" but of course we know some smaller outfits have made Xeon/ECC laptops for years now. But, this probably is the first "name brand" Xeon/ECC laptop.

You have to look at the highest-end ones to get ECC. Also, 4 RAM slots is nice.
Note, I do sell Lenovo, but am posting this just as an FYI since I know a lot of us discuss ECC on a regular basis.
Looking at their site, they also have the new P50 lone which is 15" instead of 17" from the P70 line.
Only the top of the line model has the xeon, but even it's only $2400 and it comes with a 4K display. The only thing they don't offer that I would miss is the 9-cell battery upgrade. At this price it could actually make a viable replacement for a xeon workstation.

Eurocom has been making Xeon laptops for about 5yrs already but quite expensive. Nice machines, though. Oh, I see that main memory isn't ECC, although the nvidia vram is...
Holy crap, a maxed-out Lenovo P70 lists for over $10k!!!

The main RAM *is* ECC, but only on the high end models. The spec pdfs don't say it, but the "compare models" part of the website does. And 3rd party reviews say ECC also.
As for 9-cell (Wyatt), I'm sure it'll have a 9cell offered later. I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't.

Or buy the lowest model with the Xeon/ECC and a good CPU and put in all the RAM/SSD (3rd party) yourself and save 50% (guessing).
Actually, I was referring to the Eurocom model not having ECC. And I can't find a source of 16GB ECC SODIMMs, which is why Lenovo can get away with it right now. -Adam
