Please advise on memory for SP4, how much memory should I get?

Please advise on memory for SP4

The SP4 would be my first Surface tablet. I will be using standard business applications and applying simple (non professional) Photoshop tweaks to snapshots and maybe some light video editing. I tend to shy away from anything entry level, but I'm not prepared to buy the top of the line. I'm looking at a mid spec machine, but unsure of how much memory I need. Could someone please advise?

Re: Please advise on memory for SP4

Business apps will run 4GB fine. Light video editing and Photoshop may require 8GB. Heavy video editing (professional) then 16GB.

I'd probably go for the i5/8GB/256 option. Base model would work though if video editing is not that important, but having 8GB will more future proof a device and make it overall faster.
