No, I am talking about the hardware. At least 4 seperate people I've spoken to had nothing but issues with work assigned surfaces. At least a cursory google turned up a few threads with similar sentiments.
Your experience is still anecdotal and moot.
Work assigned laptops are usually treated very poorly and die early.
Surfaces have pretty solid hardware (repairablity like is like Mac’s) and they work pretty well with Linux.
