Don't let the naysayers stop you — the more affordable 4GB Surface Go is better than you might think.
Most major media outlets published their Surface Go reviews based on the more expensive version with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Many have also outright dismissed the entry-level $399 model with just 4GB of RAM and slower 64GB of eMMC storage.

Over the last few days, I've been using the 4GB model just as I did with the 8GB one, and my conclusion is this: There's just not that much difference.
