I hoped it would support 32GB RAM in 13" laptop, but maximum is 16GB RAM. Only option seems to be Portege R30 Skylake version (not yet announced), which has two DDR slots.

I think that's mostly Intel's fault. They're keeping mainstream notebook chips limited to 16GB of RAM so they can upsell you the (more expensive) "Xeon for notebooks" chips.

I've got a 2.5 year old i7 (ThinkPad W530) with 32 GB.
