I am missing your main requirements to the laptop. I would rather list them up in first place and then decide what you need.

Dell also has nice alternatives to the XPS series. The precision mobile workstations can be upgraded to 32 and even 64 Gb.

I have 1 year with a precision 3510 with 16 GB, I know it could be expanded but I haven't required it, it has worked quite well until now with the plus that it is ubuntu certified, running ubuntu 16.04 and it works quite well, another point is that I bought it with the biggest battery and when I tried using just the browser, the battery lasted around 10 hours, using all of my software for my daily work, the battery should last more than 6 hours if I'm not running CPU intensive tasks.

To me it seems like he wants a Macbook Pro or similar, but with more RAM.

I also recommend these Dells.
