Anyone with a Surface Go 3 with 4 GB? I'm wondering how much RAM is used at startup.

The only downside to the new Surface Go is that Microsoft only plans to sell it via its commercial channels and partners

Well, no. The downside is that it's still an incredibly under-powered and expensive device with awful battery life. That it's passively cooled places hard limits on how much you can push the processor before the entire device throttles. And the thin form factor means that previous generations were lucky to get more than three hours away from the wall; I doubt this has improved much.

I bought a max specced first generation model four years ago and it's practically unusable now; a really miserable experience with a fantastic form factor.
