Contacting Dell regarding questions is a nightmare :/

Worrying start to a Dell experience, is their services always bad? Bit concerned when phoning up India all the time.

Well if happy with the smaller 54whr battery in the 8gb model them go for it and just upgrade it yourself yeah - otherwise you'd need to go for am SSD only model to get the bigger 84whr battery ...

The underside is pretty easily serviced so you shouldn't have a problem opening it up and sticking in 16gigs of ram or even 32gig if you fancied in future!!

15" 4K screen?? Waste of time imo. Is the first one a lot cheaper?
