After the Surface Pro was launched last year, the same question was pop-up again. The Surface Pro consumes more or consumes less internal memory than the Surface RT? The answer is it consumes more than the Surface RT.

The main reason is Windows 8 Pro requires more internal memory than the Windows RT. The Windows RT considers as the "lite" version while the Windows 8 Pro considers as the full version. This is the main reason behind the high consumption of internal memory.

Operating system Windows 8 Pro and the preloaded apps consume about 45GB internal memory of Surface Pro that it is left only 83GB for usage. This shows that the Windows 8 Pro is consuming more internal memory than the Windows RT. But how many users know about this before making any purchases?
