I have the XPS 15 with 32GB ram, it's an amazing laptop. It becomes essential once you start running VM's or Docker etc

- dagw 9y agoSure, but even if the surface pro came with 32gb of RAM (all other specs identical), would you consider trading your XPS 15 for a surface pro? We're really talking about two different market segments here.
- agmcleod 9y agoI dunno, I do all that with 16gb of RAM, and have for years.
- kerryritter 9y agoSame. I don't get it. My machines are 16gb and have zero problems with VMs, docker. What am I missing?
- kayoone 9y agothe surface pro is more comparable to the XPS 13, which does not come with 32GB either.
- dawnerd 9y agoWhich makes it comparable to the 12" MacBook which is far from a pro device.
- kayoone 9y ago12" Macbook only comes with a Core M CPU and 8GB Ram max, the Surface Pro is much more capable than that, basically on Macbook Pro levels.
- dawnerd 9y agoDepends on the exact model. The xps has an "i7" but it's pretty much just a core m with a few little extras. Remember, this is a fanless design so thermal throttling will be insane, just like on the macbook and the xps13.
- kayoone 9y agoNeither the Surface Pro i7 nor the XPS13 (not talking about the 1 in 2 XPS13) are fanless. Its the same class as the Macbook Pro 13 but Kaby Lake as opposed to Skylake allows for a fanless i5 Surface Pro.
