(#18132392)
I have the original Surface Pro (2013).
# Software problems:
- Windows frequently has bad touchscreen support. I've encountered many fullscreen games where a click can only be sent via a double-touch or double-pen-tap. It's phenomenally hard to click through text in story-driven games.
- The machine does not stay asleep at all (that or I've misunderstood what the lock button is intended for).
# Hardware problems:
- The machine electrocutes you whilst charging.
# Age / software / hardware problems:
- Recently (I think following Win10 April 2018 Creators Update), it has been BSoDing extremely frequently. i.e. within 5 minutes of startup, during basic usage.
