I too wish that they had a 16 GB edition. It was the only spec that made me pause and say "Huh what"?. I was running 8bg prior to this but generally I want to max out that ram and they should offer it as a spec option.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoThey do have another linux friendly laptop that can upgrade to 16gb, though its name escapes me now... Oh, here it is, the M3800: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/03/review-dell-m3800-developer-edition-is-a-great-linux-pc-with-a-few-rough-edges/ http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/03/review-dell-m3800-dev...
- simonebrunozzi 11y agoI don't like it. I really don't understand why they don't offer a 16 GB RAM version of the XPS.
- ironsides 11y agoMy understanding is that the motherboard does not permit it. From what I have read they are marking the initial XPS13 as "EARLY 2015" units -- with Windows 10 and Skylake around the corner you may see another major refresh later this year. Typing to you on a XPS13 "Early 2015".
- Dylan16807 11y agoWell that's better than nothing, but I'll note that my 2012 laptop is happy with 32GB.
- mixmastamyk 11y agoThe smaller dev edition is based on an ultra-book design, which unfortunately leads to such limitations, while a workstation design like the Precision will not.
- PebblesHD 11y agoThis looks alarmingly like the 2014 XPS 15 with i7, 16GB RAM and the GT750m I had for a while last year. Endless GPU problems, coil whine and a Touchscreen that caused general system issues. unless you're prepared to deal with random issues, I'd steer clear of the 15...
- mixmastamyk 11y agoIt's from the Precision line, not a (Studio) XPS. Not sure if that helps or not.
- PebblesHD 11y agoIndeed, but they share the same power system, battery, several CPUs, heat management etc. and will likely have similar problems.
