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.

Surface Pro 4 was a dog because of Skylake (Skylake was the reason Apple decided to dump Intel).
My Surface Pro 2017 is still great today (i7, 8GB, 256GB). I even run my PC VR headsets on this (Samsung Odyssey and Odyssey+). Tell me what Mac can run good VR headsets.
My Surface Pro 7 (i7, 8GB, 256GB) made the leap to quad core and is great. Mine is updated to Windows 11.
M1 was the fastest laptop out there. But Intel's latest looks great (will be in Surface Pro 9) and benchmarks above the m1. But even now, the 11th gen Intel is no slouch. It doesn't meet M1 but it's fast and doesn't have the Windows compatibility problems. Basic Windows stuff can work on M1 but most more esoteric offerings (like Adobe Premiere plugins for example) don't work on M1.
Thanks to overly priced iPad Pro 12.9, I don't think we can expect a touch screen macbook's anytime near future. It would hurt CrApple's bottom line to move to touch screen macbooks.
If you are a windows person, you need one right now, go with it. If you can wait, wait for 12th gen. Hopefully, Surface Pro 9 base model comes with 16gb ram.
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 would get this instead of th acer
8GB is more than enough.
I've had the surface pro 3 since 2014. Kickstand is fine. Had a surface pro 5 since launch. Kickstand is fine. Work at a company where the execs mostly use surface pro. Kickstands are almost never seen with problems.
If you're having kickstand issues, you're mistreating the machine.
