I thought about getting a 4 tb SN850x, I have one along with a 2 tb in my desktop, but 4 in a laptop is a lot to manage at least for me, also that would require a more sizable investment to back up the entire thing when it is full which is more difficult for physically smaller and more durable drives. I also opted out from going the full 64gb of memory as at that point that may impact battery life, nor do I really have a use for that much as I'd be working with raw image files and maybe some light gaming with emulators at the most
It makes 0 difference to power consumption if you're comparing like to like kits. What matters in ram is the voltage. Most ddr5 sodimm kits run at 1.1v whereas some of the crazy fast kits run at 1.35v.
However, the only 1.35v kits I've seen were XMP (which I believe framework doesn't support at least on the AMD boards). You should be fine with whatever you go with.
While true, there are no memory kits I can find at least through pcpartpicker that are 262 pin DDR5 that run more than 1.1v

1.35v at xmp. I believe it's the only kit at the moment.
Is that even compatible with the framework? I thought it could only be the 5600 mt.
