The article lists the maximum RAM available for the new XPS 13 as 32GB yet the Dell website only shows a max of 16GB. Can you please confirm/validate if the new XPS 13 will eventually receive 32GB? I know the new XPS 13 2-in-1 can be configured with a maximum of 32GB, strange that the standard XPS 13 laptop comes with less.

That's a sexy looking machine. I might get one of these.

Intel offering a G1 in i5s is just plain disrespectful. I was seriously considering this laptop but having terrible graphics performance paired with a good cpu is just a bad balance for my use.
