The conundrum is that much of the services are now asynchronous (runs in the background) and it takes 4GB just to keep Windows 11 running from startup.
The real question is whether a Windows laptop will operate well in 2-3 years on 8GB as more background services are coded into the OS.

MBA every day of the week and twice on Sundays! So much more bang for the buck. Apple has captured lightning in a bottle with the M1 chip. It's made me a convert and by comparison Intel machines simply don't make sense right now.
Also, be advised that you cannot turn off the power-saving backlight dimming in battery mode. This is the kind of thing that Intel mobile graphics does depending on screen contrast, not ambient light. Nobody has found a *working* way to turn this "feature" off yet.
Had the first gen surface and loved it despite lots of flaws. Definitely excited for a Surface with Thunderbolt 4 to have a machine that can do gaming and photo touch up with a pen, but probably going to wait for an Alder Lake version.
I'm cross shopping a windows surface device against the Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable. For $1091 you can get a 12.3' 1920x1280 ips 400 nit touch screen, i5-1130G7, 16 GB, 512 GB SSD, and it comes with the keyboard and pen. $1179 for a i7-1160G7. The thinkpad seems more durable. (probably less with perkspot discounts)
Does anyone have any thoughts comparing these two devices?
I am also wondering between these two. Any experience from any one to share?

Plus there's a way to install Linux onto it.
If I didn't have the surface go 3 I'd buy this if there was a way to install Linux onto it.

BUT unlike yours... which only has 8GB of RAM, this one has 16GB of RAM. So besides being $450 cheaper it is way better. And it has double your hard drive space.
