The Lenovo ThinkPad P50 offers a Xeon processor that is actually pretty nice. I am looking for a lab-in-a-box type solution, so the Xeon + Quadro + 64 GB RAM is really appealing. The one question I have is the ECC memory option. They offer it, but it is $470 more than the non-ECC SoDIMM option. Since I won't be using this for any type of production VM builds (and I can always move it to my servers or to the cloud), is there any possible universe in which I would want the ECC RAM over the SoDIMM?
 
Solution
Ecc stands for error correcting code,which gets rid of error in the ram.Very important for financial calculation and rendering(when computational errors must not occur).If your arent doing those,its not worth it
