We bought a 120 for the company and most people hated them after a while. I love my SP4 but I know how to fix it’s issues where less techie people will struggle. We had to RMA probably 30 at least due to charging or firmware issues. Not to mention the first gen SP3 dock would eventually die... all of them lol. We use HP X2 1012’s now and they have been much more reliable.

I’m good with never buying another Microsoft product ever again. My next computer will be ordered from the factory without a hard drive. Hard drive will be purchased separately. It’s the only way to get around the contracts.

I’ve got two. The family uses the Pro 3 docked most of the time and I use the Pro 4 as my primary laptop. I haven’t had issues with either one and I’m a heavy user.

I have the Surface 4 and it’s been completely reliable. No issues. Knocking on wood.

I’ve been using my Surface Pro 2 heavily for several years now without any issues. I absolutely love it.

Whole family has Lenovo Yoga's upgraded to Windows 10. The Yoga's have a flip screen that transforms them into tablets. Due to this, they are built to withstand a ton of punishment yet they are still light.

Got them a while back with SSD memory and the newer intel processors so they run quietly and cool with long lasting batteries. This was several years ago so I assume most laptops come with these features now. All three laptops are still working fine with heavy, daily use.

They seem like nice machines, but cost a bit more than I care to pay. Considering that you’re paying a premium price, they should be Rolls Royce reliable.

For me, I’ve had my Surface Book for 7 months and it has been great for me at work.

I use it every day. Dock and undock it at my desk.

I’d take it over any Dell piece of excrement I have been given at work in the previous 10 years.

“we are on par if not better than other devices in the category,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Laptop Mag.

There are a lot of devices in the category. There’s a reason Apple is the only one making serious money on them.

Microsoft says only 24% instead of 25% would have issues by the second year of ownership.

I would be mighty ticked off having these problems at the high price these tablets cost.

“While we respect Consumer Reports, we disagree with their findings. Microsoft’s real-world return and support rates and customer satisfaction data show we are on par if not better than other devices in the category,"

Yes, but "Welded-shut, throwaway, non-serviceable laptops" is a pretty narrow category.

Microsoft denied it but internal memo tells a different story.
