My biggest question about the Surface Laptop is this: can I justify spending $1000 on a laptop that only packs 4GB of RAM and passes up USB-C out-of-the-box in the name of outstanding looks, portability, and insanely good battery life?
Man, this is a tough one for me. When I bought my HP Pavilion on sale and with student discounts for $350, it came with 6GB of RAM and a whopping 4 USB ports. Its battery, though, gets me 2 and a half hours, barely. For all of the extra cash I'd have to invest in a new Surface Laptop, I don't know if it would be worth it. I just don't know what I place greater importance on. That's so much grocery money, you know?
What do you all think?
