Microsoft trims RAM on Surface Pro and Laptop to cut prices
TL;DR Summary
Microsoft rolled out cheaper 12‑inch Surface Pro and 13‑inch Surface Laptop configurations with 8GB RAM (down from 16GB) and 256GB storage, starting at $849 and $949; they keep the same Snapdragon X Plus core but won’t support Copilot Plus due to RAM. Even with the cut, these 8GB devices are pricier than the $599 MacBook Neo, highlighting ongoing RAM‑driven pricing in laptops.
