Surface Pro 8s have a bug where the battery just gives up randomly and won't ever charge again. 2, 3,4 and 7 do not have this - one sitting on my shelf two years charged right up from 10%.

Replacing the battery costs like $200-500 because the screen likes to explode when removing it.

Lenovo docks of a specific gen will have the USB hub/billboard just crash and stop doing display port.

older Dell docks would pollute arp tables and crash switches.

Computers have always had some wild flaws, some worse than others. They are built to a price point typically and by humans under politics so the best design or parts usually don't make it -- cost and profit.
