The perfect Surface Pro for the majority of people would be an i5, 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD, but Microsoft seemed to refuse to sell this until now. If Microsoft had offered this configuration all along, I’m sure they would have sold a lot more Surface Pros, because very few people need a 256GB SSD these days, and it was just driving up the cost. Also, it doesn’t bundle the pen, which is also great! This is a big deal for Surface and it’s great to see them finally get the configurations right
