Despite the fear of jinxing it, I must say, my brand new SP4 i5/8/256 has been flawless so far. Once all the updates happened (and it was a bit painful, with a lot of them failing - I ended up downloading the Surface driver msi package and running it manually), everything works as it should. The only change I made is to limit the max CPU to 99% on battery, and have not heard the fan since.
Hello is working, sleep is working, no lockups, tablet/desktop mode switch works, and battery life seems to be 6-7 hours. It's the luck of the draw I guess, I'm just happy I got the long end of the stick for once. The consensus so far on SP5 seems to be that it will be a 13"+ device, which does not interest me at all, so SP4 forever!
