The Surface I7 may have simply been faster at doing the switching, twice the processing threads than the I5 and more local cache, so you never crashed until you further taxed the OS by asking it to open another application.
In short it would be unwise to get any device intended to run Windows 8 or 10 and more than lightweight apps with less than 8GB of Ram. This definitely includes any machine you intend on using RW on.

Agreed. Unfortunately there is no way to increase the RAM on the Surface...as far as I know. The laptop works a bit better as the screen is about 4 inches bigger.
