It was a big surprise for me to discover I had even less than 8GB system RAM: I had only ~6GB. After some checking, looks like the integrated GPU MUST use system RAM. And I didn't find a way to assign less memory to GPU (I did try a few things like Bios settings and so on)...
I didn't try running heavy tasks yet so I do not know how much running out of 6GB RAM will affect the performance.
At the same time, the laptop does work fine for me (again, I didn't test it while running momory-hungry apps). So personally I don't regret buying it given the price tag.
I bought one of the Dells open box the other week. I think it was like $270? Plus I had a $100 BB GC from some TV purchases.
Anyway, that thing punches well above its weight for the price. I put 32GB RAM in it and have been extremely satisfied. I will concede that I don't do much gaming beyond retro emulation though. But I have run PS2 games without issue.

I didn't say they were the same. You said this was a small and light. No it isn't. There are plenty of convertible small and lights that weigh well under 4 lbs. This is not under any definition except "Dude wanted to be a smartass on the forums about LPDDR" a small and light.
