The closest you will get that I know of is a Lenovo P50/P51. They have builds with Xeons with ECC.

But I remember when ECC memory dropped out of favor. I wish it had never happened.

all the new AMD chips have ECC by default which is exciting

we will see how their mobile chips stack up

Hasn't all "big" AMD CPUs supported ECC to some degree as long as the memory controller has been on the CPU? The real problem on that side has been motherboard support which has been afaik pretty much nonexistent.

All of the FX series CPUs supported ECC memory (albeit the unbuffered kind). As you said, finding a compatible motherboard was a pain. All the ones I found used the massively power hungry 990FX-A chipset. But I did get one, and my home NAS uses an FX-8350. Kind of scary getting an automated email every week or so about a bit flip that would have otherwise been silent corruption on my home desktop.

A bit flip every week is way higher than it should be.
