Title: Best Buy is trying hard to get rid of its 4 GB Microsoft Surface Pro 7 stock for $560 USD

The low RAM capacity will instantly turn away most buyers. If that doesn't bother you, however, then the sale isn't so bad considering the display and support that come with the Surface family.

This would make a great high-end Chromebook 2-in-1, now that you can install Chrome OS on any Intel based laptop.

One might get by running Linux, I suppose. But otherwise at this price point I'd rather buy a second handed iPP for far superior performance across the board.

Not bad for a 'tablet' but the 4gb kills windows...  and its only $139 more ($699) for the i5.  They are both passively cooled so no fan noise.   Or go $799 for a the i5 with type cover... (last week they had the pro X for $799 too if thats more your liking).    But it looks like the Surface Pro 8 will be coming with 11th gen CPUs and much better graphics soon though...  more than likely with the same outdated big bezel screen and lack of thunderbolt though.

Also if your tablet shopping the Samsung S7+ for right around $699-$729 or so is a pretty sweet deal with a very nice screen (in a terrible aspect ratio for my use though).

God NO! Save your money for something better with more RAM. I have trouble with 8GB of RAM for just a few browser tabs, a word document and a spreadsheet. You are asking for trouble with 4GB.
