You can ping Barton (the project Sputnik head) on twitter about pricing and availability bugs. He usually gets them sorted quickly and is happy about feedback. I've reported issues when the XPS13 launched. It works. They fix this stuff.

But keep in mind that the EU/Prague pricing might be different once launched there.

The RAM options on the current crop of ultraportables annoy me to no end - all soldered, and all basically require grabbing the top of the line i7 + massive SSD models to get 16GB of RAM. I just want that much RAM on a mid-tier CPU and a big-enough-but-not-overkill SSD config, but I can't find anyone who will sell it to me.

RAM is usually a terrible thing to upgrade via the manufacturer (too expensive) unless its soldered in like some of the macbooks.
