FWIW, $600 for 32 GB RAM + 512 GB SSD + 8(?) core CPU is a steal.

The CPU that runs a few apps isn't worth $450+.
This isn't a consumer computer and I doubt this pops off because devs have had years to make UWP apps and yet they've made none.
The Surface Pro X has had two iterations and does literally nothing and people buying them for their parents can't even run their parents programs.

If they want developer take-up, they need to take a page from Apple's book and build an ARM laptop that's at least as powerful as current x86 laptops while also being more power efficient. The entire reason the M-series Macs have sold like hotcakes is because they have near-desktop performance paired with battery life that's well beyond average which is very compelling.

The point of the device is enable devs to make the apps in the 1st place. Chicken, egg, etc. WoA might not be the biggest thing ever but everything has to start from somewhere.
$600 is dirt cheap for software dev teams who typically shell out $2K and above for development machines.

RAM is most likely not upgradeable (MS says it's 32 GB of LPDDR4x)
SSD should be - look at the M2 slot.
If anything, they'll be bought to build iOS apps.
And a sale is a sale, though I'm not sure how one would dev iOS apps on this without being able to run macOS (legally, at least) on it.
But much worse, the moment you run into a non-arm compiled app you will see a whole new level of slow. Windows on Arm emulation is extremely poor. Expect at least a 50% performance drop. This not not gong to be a great machine, despite the nice ram.
Snapdragon has been behind for years. Even with 32GB of RAM compared to 8GB 😂
