A higher price for what was already an expensive computer is frustrating but predictable. And the price hike merely brings the Surface in line with what Apple charges for the 12.9-inch 128GB version of the iPad Pro. The $750 Surface Pro was underkill for most things, and we would have recommended one of the more expensive configurations anyway if Microsoft focuses on the higher-volume Surface models, it can hopefully avoid the shortages that plague so many important PC components right now. I suspect the lack of a low-end Surface config partly comes down to supply-chain logistics. But Microsoft only sells the Core i3 version of the Pro 8 to businesses, and the equivalent Core i5/8GB/128GB configuration starts at $1,100 now. You could at least get a significantly more usable Core i5 model with 8GB of RAM, however, for $900 (same paltry 128GB of storage, but still).
The Surface Pro 8 comes with a substantial price hike-the old Surface Pro 7 started at $750 for a version with a Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. Fewer configuration options and a high price
