edscoble-
the extra usage would be offset by going to DDR4 which runs less voltage/amps.
and honestly ? it might impact it by say 10minutes or something. Power users are going to be killing the battery on CPU/GPU anyway (video editing etc...). They will now be using swap like mad which def would be a bigger drain than an extra 16Gb.

Wow so they only did 16Gb max ram due to "power usage"....

Modern DDR4 ram would draw less power, and what a bizarre excuse
