What does RAM directly affects? (such as programs and preformance wise) Would 4gb on a surface tablet or laptop be enough?

It affects how many programs you can have open at the same time without slowdowns as well as general system performance if it's below a certain amount. At the moment I consider 8gb to be the minimum and ideal if you're spending more than 350$ and less than 1200$. Beyond 1200$ I'd demand 16gb.

聽

So in my opinion, a device with the surface's price should have at least 8gb to be worth buying.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please聽馃え

I'm pretty sure if you open the Surface up, you can replace the RAM. Don't count me on that.

You can't to make the device so compact they soldered everything in

Welp... bring out that $400 then.

Could I just use one or two programs and be fine?

yeah, it's just that I wouldn't pay that much for a device with 4gb of ram. For 2 programs you'd be fine with an asus t100ta
