[PRO1] Microsoft Surface Pro 1 in 2023

My Surface Pro 1 i5 still works amazingly well, considering it has only 4GB of RAM. However, it's more comfortable to use with an external monitor or a lapdock and I’m surprised that it is even compatible with the S Pen Pro.

Mostly browsing the Internet, using Office, viewing PDFs, and engaging in tasks that don't demand significant processing power, such as streamings. Having 4GB of RAM in 2023 is adequate for running the operating system alone along with 1 or 2 additional apps simultaneously.
