Let me get this straight. You bought a tablet you love but every time you want to use it you have to turn the wifi off and back on?

How the heck is Microsoft still in business selling garbage like that in their own store which is supposed to curate the "Microsoft experience"?

For what it's worth: people with those kinds of issues are rare. Not rare enough, of course, but it's not as if everybody has them. In a way, chamakits's problems demonstrate why Microsoft is still selling them: even if they show serious issues, the rest of the tablet is so good that people will still love it.

As an aside, my own Surface displayed a very minor issue with the pen tap location being off by about a millimeter at the top edge of the screen when I first got it. Windows Update fixed it right away. It hasn't shown any issues since then, at all. From what I hear from people I know that also own one, this is more typical than situations with serious problems.
