Could you not easily upgrade the RAM to 16gb on the W500? Disk upgrade to 512GB should also be doable. (My x220 has 16Gb/512Gb and it does well for similar vm based setup.) Or do you have an older model w500?

No, the W500 is limited to 8GB. The W510 can take 16GB and the W520+ 32GB

Is it actually limited to 8GB, or is that just what Lenovo says/is willing to support?

My x220 limited to 8GB in ever bit of published Lenovo literature, but I bought 16GB of RAM at the same spec as the 8GB I have running now and everything works fine.

I upgraded my Dell Latitude E6520 to 16Go while it is supposed to be limited to 8. Don't be fool by the manufacturer specifications.
