The form-factor is pretty amazing. The portability is very good. The performance is also very good within the above two factors.

The problem is the software and features:

- Windows 10 is a known factor, and it constantly frustrates.

- No Thunderbolt or USB-C is ridiculous in 2017.

I'd like to see Microsoft releasing Linux drivers for the Surface Pro. If they really love Linux enough to support it on Azure, they should support it everywhere. (I know, they support it on Azure to compete with AWS and Googs)

I've pretty much gotten used to Windows 10 at this point, and there are even a couple of minor UI tweaks that I miss when I use my Windows 7 machine at work. What frustrates you?
Windows 10 updates frustrate a lot of people. It will attempt it when you have a bad wifi connection and make the internet unreachable, or it will reboot when you're in the middle of something. And woe if you run out of battery power in the middle of the update... I'd rather have more control.
