Microsoft's new entry-level Surface Laptop retains its previous hardware but now comes with only 8GB of RAM and a higher price tag. Users have reported performance issues, particularly with multitasking, as the limited memory often leads to temporary freezes during regular use. Despite its solid build quality and battery life, the laptop struggles to handle everyday tasks effectively.
The ongoing RAM shortage has prompted manufacturers to offer more devices with 8GB of memory, raising concerns about the usability of Windows laptops in the near future. As prices for these models may continue to rise, consumers may need to consider investing in higher-spec options to ensure better performance and longevity.
