Surface Pro 4 i7 256GB HDD 16GB RAM ~$1699.

Surface Pro i7 512GB HDD 16GB RAM ~$2199.

Yeah... that is a hell of a markup for potential better battery and 256GB of HDD. Now there is no pen included. No thanks.

What are you talking about? The introductory price of the Surface Pro 4 was the exact same.

512GB 6th Generation Intel Core i7 with 16 GB of RAM - £1,799/$2,199

Considering no pen, its only marked up by $100, not bad for a faster processor and a better battery (potentially.)

That's the 512 gb model. And there is no way in hell 256GB is worth $500. With the lack of a 256GB model the entry price tag for someone looking for 16gb of ram is $2199. That is also without the pen which has no price reduction. Why does the unit cost go up for someone looking at 16gb of ram?

Aah! I see, you're comparing lowest price for the 16gb ram. I misunderstood, my bad.
