Similar issues were also reported on previous generation Surface models, and it took the technology titan a few months to nail them.

Glad they fixed it
Finally! I don’t own one, but for how they’re advertising this tablet, this issue should have been fixed awhile ago. If you’re going to say it’s better than a macbook, then make sure the wifi works!
