I've had nothing but issues with Microsoft hardware... Even excluding Xbox stuff, my SP4 had major issues with video corruption and hard freezes. Multiple RMA attempts came back defective or damaged, even the first party folio keyboard went bad. These were widespread defects and once warranty was up I was sol.
The only thing that somewhat extended its life before it went full spicy pillow was putting Linux Mint on it with some kernel patches.
Thank God this community exists, but I'll never buy another surface product as long as I live.
SP4 was really buggy from Hardware perspective, flickering screen, fast battery drain while off, etc.. SP567 are really good devices!
I love my 8 now. The battery is definitely not the best, but the whole device is awesome.
I think it should be really slick device. Glad you're glad 🙂
