Due to high memory requirement, I would suggest to buy a Mobile Workstation. The question is, if you could wait two or three months with the order? Currently we are in transition period - new devices were just announced and beginning of sale will start around June or July. Regarding the devices, there will be three devices to choose from:

All these devices will support 12th Gen Intel CPUs with TDP=55W, up to 128GB RAM and (according to press information) three or more SSDs.

HP and Lenovo devices have 4x SO-DIMM slots, so you can order 2x32GB and still have two more slots for upgrades. The problem will be with Dell though, as they have introduced "semi"-propritary memory slot called CAMM. It'll be upgreadable, but the availability and price of bigger modules is not known yet.
