[QUOTE="BIOS, post: 466176, member: 15674"] Unless you're studying something like machine learning or some other heavy niche I agree with this, 16GB is plenty. I got by fine with 8GB on my course and an i7 (XPS 13). Ran multiple virtual machines/containers/programs fine. You could check out a Macbook Pro w/ an i7 & 16GB ram if that's more your thing. I'd definitely not invest 5k, though; maybe 1-2 max. Do you need a dedicated GPU? If so, you could consider something else like the XPS 15 instead. Really depends on what you're studying and hope to get out of it, I know for me the size and power were big factors. [/QUOTE]
