Laptops with ECC RAM options

Any laptops out which support ECC? Im mobile and run a SQLite for P6 and MySQL for an Access DB. Coming across some old issues and thinking this might help solve some data corruption.

Well, you know all the consumer CPUs aren't going to support ECC, so you'll have to find a mobile workstation with a Xeon. Could probably get a Lenovo Thinkpad with a Xeon and ECC RAM for a couple grand.

Yeah, but we do have some non-xeons in the desktop which support ECC on the board, just a few cases. Learned this building my last FreeNAS. I wouldnt believe a laptop option would be out there but wanted to check.
It's a heard spec to just Google. Not a lot of info on them because yeah, not that many out there in the wild.
What else can I do to protect myself from corrupted databases. I backup daily, but sometimes I go so far and then bam.. run into inissue that the repair can't fix.
Edt: it's never saved files and always happening when working in the databases. Leading to the belief that ECC RAM might help my issue.

Lenovo P50
Doesn't look like the XEON one comes with ECC DDR4 sticks from the shop but I'll just pick up a few.
This isn't that bad of an option. Everyone I've looked at was a damn 17". 15.4 is bad enough going through TSA, fckk 17".

Configure it on Lenovo's website. The P50 and P70 both have ECC RAM on the Xeons.
I have no idea if ECC will fix whatever issue you're having. No experience working with MySQL or any software that might call for ECC memory.

Just can't find any confirmation on Lenovo's site. A lot of data is cached and sits on RAM for the programs I use. So like I said earlier, i'm just guessing this will help because of the following reasons.
1. All saved stored files, backups, imports and exports of other DBs never are corrupted.
2. I only get errors while working in the DBs.
3. So since it only happens live i'm wondering if some ECC would help.
Is this a good line of thinking? I'm also on an ECC kick ever since coming across photos from just 2010-2011 which had bit rot on my FreeNAS box.

But doesn't ECC detect and correct in real-time? So, it seems in theory, non-ECC memory wouldn't be the cause of actual detected errors/corruption if said errors are actually being detected before the DB files are saved/exported. 
Definitely not an expert or even experienced with this.
Nah it's there:

Okay I was looking in the B&H site. Thinking about ordering but then found that MSI makes some laptops that support ECC.

What about running a small virtual server on AWS or azure and just remoting into it?

Im mobile a lot, and really don't to run VMs unless I had a different set up. I love VMs but want it as local as possible.
Also not sure what it does for me in this situation. It will still be cached on RAM. Reason I'm seeing if ECC would help the issue.
