I know 8GB is "good enough" but if you are buying an XPS, you don't want "good enough." Looking forward to a deal that has at least 16GB of RAM.

You can't look at available ram usage that way. The os keeps things in ram it might not need anymore in case it does again later, then frees it up if needed. Unless the applications you are actively using need it all you are fine.

My 5 year old laptop with 8gb ram had 50+ tabs or browser opened and movie watching at the same time and it was smooth. 8gb isn't going to make it noticeable for most kind of usage.

Here we go again with another wannabe know-it-all "RAM apologist". Perhaps you're unaware of the fact that the XPS literally stands for "eXtreme Performance System," right?

The fact of the matter is that 8GB of RAM is "sufficient most of the time" for "light-duty use," which, of course, in real-world language means a lackluster machine that is sometimes "good enough" and other times leaves you disappointed (if not frustrated). Understanding that RAM is only one of several variables that impact "speed," guess what someone using a laptop with 8GB RAM has never ever said? "WOW, this machine is impressively fast!!!"

But, sure, share more of your "knowledge" with us mr. practical...

Quote from rodalpho :
MBA is a vastly superior machine; it has dramatically better battery life and will be much, much faster. It's also completely silent with no moving parts, which means it won't get slower over time as dust gunks up the fans and vents. But it doesn't run Windows, if you care about that, and the XPS13 looks more modern with tiny bezels around the display.
don't even get me started on this guy...

one word for you, dude: drivers​

Does anyone know where one could see one of these in person? Best Buy only displays the XPS 15". Curious how small the 13" feels.

I got this exact model about 4 months ago for $580 using the Amex offer. One the best decisions I've made. This thing is not slow at all, and the screen is pretty nice to look at.

8GB should be a non-starter, don't know why companies like Lenovo and Dell do this all the time.

Because it's ok for most people and works fine.

If you are looking at just today, with today's applications, under the 'road warrior' type settings typical for machines like this, 8 GB can still do a lot.

Being locked into 8 GB means, however, that you must also be willing to accept the possibility that, if the near-future computing environment overextends this machine because of the RAM, you are out of luck.

Some people can accept this, and others cannot. To those who can, more power to them. I am in the latter camp. As good as the price is for this config, $700 is still a lot of money for me to have to accept this potential limitation.

How is the keyboard, specifically key travel? Looking for something similar to Lenovo or Dell Latitude keyboards.

What is the down side to making this dual boot to Chrome OS? Do you have to upgrade the OS each version or is it automatic?

As I am always trying to learn how can RAM make a computer impressively fast? If I am not mistaken RAM has nothing to do with boot speed, download speed, web pages loading, gaming FPS (99% of the time), or just about anything 90% people do.

I get it with a bunch of large programs open or video editing but that's it??? Right??? I went from 8gb to 16GB on my gaming laptop and saw no difference.

I am fine with 8gb, my wife still has 4GB and no issues with her use case.

But it does bug me that this is fixed at 8gb. For me it's fine now but in 3-5 years I am not sure if 8gb is enough.

Now for this deal if 8gb is a deal breaker for this XPS, what else is out there less than $700 with decent build quality, power, 16GB RAM, and good/great battery life?
