New Microsoft Surface for Business PCs pair Panther Lake chips with as little as 8GB of RAM — 8GB 13-inch Surface Laptop goes light on memory but still starts at $1,299

For those that may claim Surface "is actually super popular with businesses, you just don't see it":

>Surfaces just aren’t as popular as other computers. They have never managed to take more than 2.1% market share of PC shipments ... Microsoft declined to comment on whether it considers Surface successful. [source]

It brings multiple billions, but Surface likely costs an enormous amount of money. Years ago, Microsoft stopped reporting Surface revenue separately, much less a profit / operating income number for Surface in the history of the division.

I used to think Surface only existed to "push Windows OEMs to do better", but I'd say Windows OEMs are more responsive to Apple's MacBook designs than to Microsoft's Surface designs. Very, very few (see the market share) and likely desperate companies will be running to ask for a "volume discount" on $1300 8GB machines.
