The Surface is garbage. My last work-issued one caught fire.

I've never had any complaint's about Asus' laptops, though I've only used their Zenbook and Zephyrus lines.

I think the problem is that Microsoft's hardware quality is super inconsistent. We had a ton of employees using Surface laptops and tablets at my previous company, particularly sales and support. The company stopped buying them after a few years because the first year failure rate was almost 15%. However, the folks that had the good ones often kept them for 5 years or more.
