Analysis Summary
This is real and well-reported. Microsoft has raised prices across its Surface lineup by $300-$500 due to the global RAM shortage — the Surface Pro 11 and Laptop 7 jumped from $999 to $1,499. The story is verified by Windows Central and other outlets. The framing as "RAMageddon" is dramatic but fits the scope of the increase; the article provides full context about the shortage and competitive pressure from Apple's cheaper MacBook Neo.
