  8GB ram cost a couple of dollars. I will never understand why they don't have a minimum of 16gb. The only reason why i will pass

    You realise they're different size sticks right?

      What exactly do you mean?

        King Steuart on 14/07/2021 - 16:45

        Notebook ram is smaller and more expensive, and I'm not sure if the Surface books even use that or a custom sized one.

          @King Steuart: 16gb ram and 8gb ram are the same physical size. It is just them ripping people off to buy a higher powered unit with more ram

            @dosada: It's a custom stick soldered to the motherboard. I know the price for extra RAM is exorbitant, but it's not a typical RAM upgrade. https://surfacetip.com/can-surface-laptop-3-ram-upgraded/

              @King Steuart: I know that. But for them to purchase a 16gb instead of the used 8gb one would cost no more than maybe $40 which is nothing compared to the price jump to a unit with 16gb

            superforever on 14/07/2021 - 16:51

            @dosada: So 512GB and 256GB also the same physical size and not much price difference, but if they put 16gb and 512gb SSD who will buy the higher powered unit?

              @superforever: That's exactly what i am saying. There is no valid reason behind such a stupid configuration besides greed.

        It is a marketing decision, just like how they configure iPads etc. They don't want to sell the base model. They want to sell the second-worst at the minimum. There is a massive profit difference for Microsoft/Apple moving from the base model to one step up.

    Because they want you to spend $300 more for the next tier model.

    • 

      superforever on 14/07/2021 - 16:49

      Yeah, they can always put more ram and more SSD space, if that is the case the difference between the low tier and high tier model become not that much difference.

        the difference between the low tier and high tier model become not that much difference

        They also have difference CPUs.

          @jv: Yes of course but most people care storage and memory more

    In 2021, a device costing nearly $1300 work 8GB of memory is a joke.

      Couldn't agree more. A decent phone has more RAM.

    • 

      Nickels n Dimes on 14/07/2021 - 17:28

      Fair point, when phones with 8gb ran just as little as $300AU and many phones have more team than that.
      Albeit a $1300+ iPhone 12 has only 4gb ram.

      Not too bad I'm not sure exactly how long but it'll go plenty of screen on hours before I need to charge it

  Why on earth are MS always a green behind in CPUs? I realise this cpu was only released a few months ago, and a bunch of the 5000 series is zen2 as well…but still. For a premium laptop, feels like an nonpremium aspect.

  Contacted Microsoft a couple of days ago and was told that Surface Laptops won't be arriving until somewhere between late August and early September.

      Yeah, they seem to have sold most of the stock during that June sale, and there's very little left

  What…..

• 

  michael9865 on 14/07/2021 - 18:14

  16gb ram is the norm with 32gb starting to become the normal.
  I suggest if anything less then 16gb don't buy unless you can change it manually and is cheap.

  I wonder if they fixed the wifi issues on this model.
