I read these threads and see where certain people get and then return a Surface (or other devices) 3, 4 and sometimes 5 times for the same issue. It leaves me scratching my head. I mean, I believe the GREAT majority of people get Surfaces (or other devices) that work without issue (or small issues that are eventually corrected with an update). What are the odds that a small number of people are getting bad devices; with the same issues as the one they just exchanged had? What are the odds they are picking up bad devices, no matter how many times they exchange it, while most everyone else is getting a good device the first time? These people shouldn't be buying lottery tickets, that's for sure.
I kind of wonder if these certain posters are either doing something in the unboxing and setting up process that causes the problem to surface or possibly fanboys of another OS trying to create a false panic that the Surface (or other devices) is a bad product. I'm sure there are those unlucky buyers out there, but, I just wonder. I didn't come up with this question because of the recent posts with the Surface. I actually started thinking about this a couple years ago when the Palm Pre was released. Some how, I got a perfect device but certain people returned a large number of Pres. No matter how hard they tried they couldn't get a working Pre.
This post isn't directed to any particular poster having problems with their Surface. Its just a general observation I had I wanted to express.
