It's a real shame (a crime really) that Microsoft still makes a "premium" laptop with 8GB of RAM in 2023...
They only do this to be able to advertise a low starting price. Once you add more RAM, so the laptop is actually usable, the price jumps to $2,000+...
Then they sell these underspecced devices at a discount eventually.
I have owned and daily driven several Surface Pros both with 8GB and 16GB RAM. 8GM is barely adequate. You can get by with 8GB, but it does result in a significant performance hit. It impacts the usability of the device.

I purchased a 16 GB model from Costco a few weeks ago for $1k.

Doubling the memory takes the price to $1,250.
