Their pricing structure floors me. On the i7 models, you pay $1100 more for 750GB of extra SSD space and 8GB of extra RAM over the entry level i7 model. That is ridiculous. With that kind of premium to protect, they'll also make it nearly impossible to manually upgrade/replace the RAM and SSD, which makes buying one of these things a pretty bad decision.
- JTenerife 9y agoAgreed, but how's that different to what the competition is doing? 16GB RAM starts at 2199 $US. That indeed quite off-putting for something that should replace my laptop.
- downandout 9y agoI'd argue that iPad Pro isn't really competition for the Surface Pro. It's a tablet; the Surface Pro is a full-fledged PC. I would absolutely buy one because I love the weight and form factor, but I'd need at least 16GB of RAM, and I just won't pay an $1100 idiot tax for the top of the line model. I'll watch to see what iFixIt says about soldered RAM etc., but I'm not hopeful.
