I have a SurfaceBook3 15” purchased in February 2021. My experience has been disappointing with this computer. It was the most I have paid for a laptop and it was replaced 3 times by Microsoft. The model is no longer supported.

I need to purchase a reliable computer that I can use for school and starting my business. I’m currently enrolled in a computer science course I need to catch up on my homework! 🙄

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
