    Microsoft Surfaces are some of the biggest pieces of shit you could ever buy, including the Surface Pros which are way overpriced. 
    i mean if you are  a mac user, you would say that about any windows laptop :)
    have you ever used a surface laptop? the one piece laptop not the tablet with the attached keyboard

    we have many surface laptops at work, we do both macs and windows
    and never had an issue with any of surfaces
    i am actually writing this on a surface laptop 3 i have had for 3 years, zero issues
    i would say the only issue with them is the chargers go bad with that proprietary plug
    but we also replace those damn usb-c cables for macbooks on a regular basis when people twist them around the chargers
    so i would say excluding power supplies, there is zero difference in reliability
    I can't really speak about the Surface but we had nothing but issues with our Surface Pro laptops...biggest pieces of shit ever. The Microsoft docks suck and constantly failed, the charging has issues like you mentioned, their support blows, they overheat, video card issues, the removable keyboard fails, and they don't image with SCCM worth a shit without imaging them 15 times. We stopped using them altogether. Just terrible way overpriced laptops. They're just not powerful and durable enough for our needs. 

    We have both Macs and PC's as well. The only issues we ever have with our Macs is if someone physically breaks something like the screen for example which we get fixed within 24hrs onsite per our Apple Enterprise agreement. 
    My Surface Pro has been going strong for several years now. Never had any issues. That said, people tend to abuse things that they don't buy themselves, i.e. company provided laptops. Given that the Surface Pro and Macbooks aren't exactly in the same category, and that the Surface is a bit more fragile due to it's form factor, I'm not surprised that you see more issues with it.
