Piece of junk Microsoft surface pro 8 March 19, 2025 at 10:40 AM

I was been a big fan of the surface since I got my surface 4 pro, then I decided to spend almost €2000 on a brand new surface pro 8. This was also an amazing device! UpTo the moment when the device stopped working. It received a windows update and I was asked to reboot the device. That was the end of it all. The device didn't turn on again and it stopped charging. You won't be surprised that this all happened just a couple of weeks past the 2y warranty. And to get it checked they expect me to pay over 500 euro without any promises that I would get it back working. I spent 2000 euro on your device!? Now my 2000 euro Microsoft surface pro 8 is just a piece of junk in my drawer.
