The killer on these is that they are strictly disposable: not repairable. Your average lithium ion battery is good for three years and that's it. Keyboard problem? Toss the machine. Monitor damaged? Toss the machine. Need more RAM? Sucks to be you. If the slightest thing goes wrong with this box of horse excrement, it goes in the trash.
I don't mind computers going in the trash. That's how I got my HP all-in-one computer. A customer struggled with it for two years and never could get it to run right. He finally took it to me and I diagnosed a bad hard drive. He said, it's trash, I'm buying a Chromebook.
I put in a new hard drive and have a new toy. That can never happen with one of these piece of trash Surface identity crisis machines. Typical Microsoft "take your money and stab you in the back" business practice. Of course the press is all wetting itself about how great the Surface is.
No thanks.
