All of the machines in my home lab do but sadly none of my workstations do (ThinkCentre and a ThinkPad.) I wish they did.

Some higher end Dell Precision's and at least at one time Lenovo/Thinkpads had models with ECC ram and if they still do next time I need a new machine that's what I'm getting.

> they still do

Yes, they still do. Dell Precision 5XXX and 7XXX models come with ECC support. I own a a Precision 7560 with a Xeon W-11955M, Quadro A5000, and 2×16 GB of 3200 MHz ECC DDR4.

The problem is that Dell Precisions are very costly compared to 'normal' gaming laptops. But on the bright side, they come with business-class support, including a 24/7 hotline, and next-business-day on site service.

Yeah, last time I looked the cost was the primary barrier and decided to wait until I needed an upgrade. I don't do any PC gaming so I can save a bit my going with the Intel GPU instead of a discrete graphics card.
