This new 16-inch laptop comes with a ridiculous 72GB of RAM — if you are willing to wait for the upgrade
Schenker's new Panther Lake laptop tops out at exactly 72 GB of RAM, and the reason why is hiding under its screwless bottom panel, even if you might end up waiting to get that particular spec.
The Schenker Element 16 laptop is now available worldwide, boasting an impressive 72GB of DDR5 memory, which is a unique configuration among laptops this year. Priced at 1,499 euros, it ships in late August 2026 and comes with a 5% early-bird discount until the end of the month, as well as a newsletter discount. The laptop features a 16-inch IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 1600p resolution, 400 nits of brightness, and 180-degree hinge.
Under the hood, the Element 16 uses Intel's Panther Lake processors, specifically the Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra 7 356H, both with integrated Intel graphics and an NPU for AI workloads. It offers up to 8TB storage and comes with MIL-STD-810H durability standards. While the memory configuration is not currently available, users can still opt for a 40GB SKU module.
The laptop stands out for its quick-release bottom panel and commitment to future mainboard upgrades, potentially offering a compelling alternative to modular Framework laptops.
