if your specific use requires more than 8, fine, but most people using a laptop for everyday uses don't need more than 8, and won't for some time to come.
EDIT: should clarify with tech support though, typically onboard RAM can't be augmented.

It clearly states the ram is soldered on, so that's a NO
No it's soldered. The title has the info
Soldered RAM means NO upgrade.
ok thanks. 8gigs of ram 256gb and i5 was originally 1500? this laptop is that good?
That's not necessarily a no, my current laptop has soldered RAM and still had an empty slot to which I added an 8GB stick.

good point! thanks for pointing that out

The XPS 13 Touch comes in 8GB and 16GB variants. It's possible that the motherboard has an empty RAM slot to reduce manufacturing costs by scale economics (i.e. rather than producing two different motherboards they can just make one model with 8GB soldered and add a stick to it for the upgrade). Would need to clarify this with them though, either method is possible.
Everyone keeps saying 16gb min but not necessary unless you do super heavy stuff like hardcore video editing

Looks like ssd is replaceable but not ram
