    1. Who buys a $1000 laptop with 4GB of ram? The base model really should be 8GB

    2. Even thinner? Why? Would have been better with a bigger battery for that optional 4K display.

      I'd be happy to see any Raven Ridge laptops appearing in this part of the world.

        Looks lovely, but I'm also surprised by the 4GB RAM - even phones have this these days and the 1+5t has 6GB for less

          Linux users usually have swap partitions and zram. It's not such a biggie :-)

            Apple consumers will, but Dell isn't Apple.

            Same. They're working hard on keeping endurance total shit.
            With just a cm more (around 1/4 of an inch) the damn battery would have lasted days.

              All Apple laptops have at least 8GB of RAM including MBA. If you want to be a good hater, you should target more accurately

                1 Why bother? Even if it had 8 GB, people like you would still complain.

                  My previous one from 2012 did not. It only had 4GB. https://support.apple.com/kb/sp649?locale=en_US

                    The Mac Mini still has 4 GB of RAM. But you're right about their laptops: they all have 8GB now.
