Based on recent Geekbench listings, Microsoft will pair the Surface Laptop 6 with a Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-80-100) chipset and 16 GB of RAM as a more powerful alternative to the Surface Pro 10.

16GB in 2024 is a utter joke especially in the something called Elite.

The SoC is called that way.

16G is fine for general computing in 2024.

Geekbench is useful as it scales well with most software users use.

Isn't Surface mostly a business/prosumer-based laptop, not content creation?

I dunno. Not in the Windows world anymore. Microsoft lost me as a customer with Windows 11 feature creep.

[Huh]

16GB in 2024 is a utter joke especially in the something called Elite.

Meanwhile... Apple's "pro" base model is 8GB..
