It clearly states the ram is soldered on, so that's a NO
no it doesn't. it should be using 2-4gb at idle if you're not running a ton of background apps. if it's using significantly more, you might have malware or some other issue.

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.
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.

EDIT: should clarify with tech support though, typically onboard RAM can't be augmented.

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.

This is a good deal!
Everyone keeps saying 16gb min but not necessary unless you do super heavy stuff like hardcore video editing

Win 10 needs more than 8gb by itself. Microsoft should not allow laptops sold with less than 12 or 16GB minimum.
