Because in the windows market, surface isn't a laptop targeting video editors, game programmers, etc. It's a thin and light entry. Contrast with lenovo portable workstations which got 64gb over a year ago: http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/11/9129681/lenovo-skylake-xeo...

Apple produces every osx compatible device. This means it needs to produce at least one device that can meet the needs of power users.

Have you not watched MIcrosofts "can't do that in a Mac" campaign? 3D modelling, video editing, lots of heavy lift graphics apps...

And yet most video editors I know use Macs, same for "heavy lift graphics apps". Nobody (ie very few) run around with a 8lbs/4hour battery "desktop replacement" PC to do such things on the go.
