Why is it so hard to produce a 13" Notebook with a Ryzen 4800U, 32 GB Ram (or better just two Sockets) and two 4k/60hz Outputs?

Make one HDMI 2.0 and the other Displayport over Type-C and I'm fine.

I'd love to see a USB 3 Type-A Port aswell but that seems like too much to ask nowadays.

Lenovo X13 with Ryzen 4750U + 32 GB RAM + docking station is quite similar.

I thought this comment 8 months back was correct. I dont know the limitation nor could find something related.

Maybe due to space, or could be power constraints. According to little Google Search, DDR4 DRAM consume roughly 1.5W per 4GB(not per module) so 32GB = 12W by itself at least at peak.

DDR4 SODIMM 32GB modules are about $150 right now so you can pop one in if you want and if your machine supports it.
