And yeah, I do use all that memory. Right now I'm hovering at just shy of 12GB, with 3 VMs for development/testing and the usual office/business crap in the host OS.

Maybe the SP4 . . . if the lack of interest in the SP3 doesn't kill off the Surface line.

I don't think it's designed for running multiple VM's...i guess you could move those VM's to Azure or AWS but you couldn't access them offline.

I do think the surface line will continue/grow, as it is getting more and more traction and seems to be core to MSFT strategy. In last earnings statement surface was close to $1B revenue now.
