Dell XPS 13 8GB RAM VS 16GB RAM.

The laptop will be mainly used for daily activity, but some Visual Studio and Photoshop projects as well.

So what do you guys think? Should I go for 8GB or 16GB. I already determined that I am going to need the i7 version but am doubting between how much RAM to get.

Thanks in advance, 🤝

Depends on how much more it costs. I know that Dell includes some proprietary parts so they may have soldered the RAM onto the board, making it harder to upgrade.
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.

Currently the 8GB model is around £1200,- and the 16GB model £1429,-
You are correct in stating the RAM isn't easy upgradable.

If I were you, I'd go for the 8GB model.

Or go for a different laptop

As addition to what minimalist said, also think about resell value. It will be much easier to sell a laptop with 16GB of ram in a few years than it is to sell one with 8GB.

Just like any Dell machine.

Always go for more RAM.
I just want the Dell XPS 13 Developer's Edition so bad. But I don't think the developers edition has 16GB inbuilt RAM by default

So to balance the opinions,

i have a 16GB RAM DELL myself (not laptop) and if you are not planing to run BF1 + DOOM + FALLOUT4 while you code/design

keep your 200£

Go for more RAM ^^ It won't hurt you.
Who knows for what will you use your laptop in the future.
