So you want to compare a rack mount server to a laptop? Hmm...

Just saying that 16GB isn't much in the grand scheme.

$15k just for the server with 32GB RAM. Another $8k to outfit it with that 1TB of RAM.

you can't really compare servers to laptops - they are different tools for different purposes.
the reason a server supports that much ram is running virtual machines. who would do that on a MBPR?
in the grand scheme, 16GB is a good amount of RAM for a portable computer. 32GB would be better; are there any companies making laptops that support that?
