I opted for an m6700 with 32GB of memory. That way I could run 12c RAC, 12c Cloud Control, a few stand-alone instances, and all my standard apps at the same time. The virtualized 2-node RAC and the Cloud Control VM use 14GB just on their own (4GB per node, 6GB for Cloud Control).
The laptop itself is bigger and more expensive, but that doesn't bother me much as I don't move it around very much. I just checked the Dell website and the m4800, which has a smaller form factor, supports up to 32GB of RAM.
