  And it's going to cost an Arm, leg and a kidney.

  Probably exactly why they are not selling it now.

  There are RGB LEDs on there but you can't see them because they are SO-DIMM

  Hahaha, good one.

  Wow, their marketing department’s photographer is so good you’d think these product shots are 3D renders!

  Yes! someone plesae phone that photographer!

  This is probably the memory that could be in XPS 15 2in1 - but not user exchangeable.

  Do the current Intel chipsets/cpu's support 16Gb based dimms? I tried upgrading a Haswell refresh system to use 16GB ddr3l sodimms but Intel didn't support 16GB ddr3l sodimms until Broadwell. So do current Coffee lake based systems even support these? Or maybe only mobile xeons and blade servers that require unbuffered sodimms?

  CoffeeLake i7-8750H (Asus Zephyrus GM501GS) supports up to 64GB in 2 SO-DIMM slots

  personal opinion, these will go into apple mac pros. The market for that level of an all in 1 are the only ones who price is not an issue and capacity is.

  DTR workstations also would like these.

  iMac pro uses full sized DIMMs though. Would be silly for the new Mac Pro when that comes out to use SODIMMs if even the iMac uses full sized.

  The Mac Pro and iMac Pro are Xeon platforms and come with full-size ECC UDIMMs. Theoretically, the iMac Pro and 12-core Mac Pro can be outfitted with LRDIMMs, allowing for up to 256GB of DDR3-1866 in the Mac Pro and 512GB of DDR4-2666 in the iMac Pro.
  
  These SO-DIMMs would work in the regular 4K and 5K iMacs though, so long as the platform supports them. Intel has yet to post any client platform validation results for 32GB modules.

  Mac OS X currently is limited to 252GB in the kernel though.

  Consumer Mini-ITX and M-ATX boards should just go all SO-DIMM. Most of the pins on full DIMM aren't used anyway and DDR4 SO-DIMMs still have more pins than full DDR3 DIMMs. We don't get ECC and buffered DIMMs on consumer boards (most of the time) since artificially segmented. I don't really see the point of full DIMMs anymore. It's just floated still because no one is really pushing for it to change.

  Two currently most important questions left unanswered:
  
  1. Will current CPUs suport 32GB modules?
  And if "yes", which ones: Skylake, Kaby, Coffee? Which lines -- only -S and -H, or -U too?
  
  2. Will 32GB modules raise "Max Memory Size" limit from 64GB to 128GB?

  Follow up question: Where are these exactly? I would love to buy some for my work laptop and home VM server that is a NUC.

  If you have to ask you can't afford it... quick google returns: ($1.6k AUD)
