  Dell XPS 14 starts at $2,050, while the 16-inch model will demand $2,200 starting Jan. 6. If you think that’s high, that’s because Dell revised its price point from $1,650 and $1,850, respectively. 

25% / ~$400 laptop price increase due to market price increases for 16GB RAM?

DDR5 is about $250-300 more expensive now for 16gb than it was at all time lows. The $400 price might be to absorb any additional cost increases while maintaining their existing profit margin.

EDIT: sorry, my numbers are off. It’s $250-300 more expensive for 32gb not 16.
