  • From what I understand, the poor heat dispersal slowly fries the power management circuits.

    If you don’t do anything to taxing with it, it may be fine for a while. Ever since I installed EndeavourOS on it, it’s been running cooler - much less system overhead than Windows. Still, I know one day it’s bound to fail. :(


  • Any one EXCEPT the Surface Pro 4.

    The 4 is notorious for having lousy heat management and a faulty power circuit. The screen image shakes if it gets too hot.

    My own SP4 worked fine for years, but as it aged it started to succumb. I can’t use it for any real work anymore.

    Don’t get anything lower than the 5 (from 2017).
