Stay away from the surface

So my surface got updated to windows 10.
All seemed well at first, until I realized that the video kept crashing, causing blue screens.
Now, several months and windows updates later, including a complete factory reset, I can no longer advice someone to purchase the surface pro 3. It is just not a stable, reliable platform. I typically get about 3 blue screen per week. At random situations.

A remote support session with Microsoft had them install an old (june 2015) video driver. At first that seemed to work, only to cause issues with that driver a few weeks later. It seemed to not work with the windows 10 updates.

Using computers as a tool for work and pleasure, I do not want to keep troubleshooting a system over and over. The surface pro 3 seems to require this level of attention and maintenance. Making it a useless device overall. VERY DISAPPOINTING.

So for now, I’d suggest to make sure you read up on many people having issues with the Surface pro and the surface book. You pay a premium, Apple like prices. But you don’t get a premium, apple like experience.
