If only you could buy the hardware. There are very few laptops or similar with the chip. Even the Z13 is difficult to find and (at least in Europe) only with 32 GB of RAM.
I have an HP ZBook g1a ultra in Austria. I've had mine for about 4-5 months and I got the 64gb version because I needed a new laptop and the 128gb wasn't yet available. It should now be widely available everywhere.

It's pricey but I have to say it's the best Linux laptop I've used. I'm a Linux user so for me that's as good as it gets :-).

HP are your friend. In laptop or desktop form factor, 128gb ram.
I take that back, returning their laptop after two days.
If LPDDR5X's latency is a limiting factor, I wonder if something like HBM would have show significant improvement to speed.
This article doesn't mention the suitability of the Strix Halo systems for running MoE LLMs that use much of its 128GB 256-bit DDR5-8000 memory.
