I've usually heard the Surface range are exceptionally well designed and made.

Obviously they do have lemons, but then again two dud iPhones hardly mean all Apple hardware is bad ;)

So true, and that would be expected if MS were building the quantities like apple and Samsung. In respect of surface 3 I can't comment, but for previous versions build quality and reliability not so great

1383132 2014-09-06 20:26:00 Well, lots of different thoughts on this. Build quality was superb. Really nice to use with the added keyboard/cover. Very fast and responsive. The problem is intermittent. Some give no problem, some do. As plod said, " one is bad luck, two is a lemon", therefore, three would have been a habit.

If I didn't worry about the cost, I think I would go and buy the Surface Pro 3 which has a different setup and is apparently problem free.

And buying a third and expecting something different is a sign of insanity...
