I have HP 255 g8 with Ryzen 5700u and ax210 WiFi card running Linux flawlessly like it was meant to be, bought configuration with 8gb ram 256gb ssd and freedos preinstalled for 500$ few years ago, immediately upgraded ram to 16gb and ssd to 1tb and slapped arch btw on it, my laptop never touched windows that’s what i can say for sure and it support Linux like it was meant to be
It’s likely a difference of bloatware for HP. For Surface. I really don’t understand how they could have made it any harder for someone to work on their products when they have issues.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
The Surface Neo is an unreleased dual-touchscreen 2-in-1 PC that was unveiled by Microsoft on October 2, 2019. Slated to be part of the Microsoft Surface family of devices, the Surface Neo was designed to be used in various "postures" for different use cases and multitasking scenarios involving its screens, and feature Windows 10X—a variant of Windows 10 designed exclusively for dual-screen devices. However, as of December 2023, over four years after the Surface Neo was announced, it is still unreleased, likely rendering it vaporware. The Surface Neo was expected to be launched in late-2020, alongside a range of other Windows 10X devices from third-party manufacturers. In May 2020, Microsoft postponed the release of Windows 10X-based dual-screen devices in favor of launching it with single-screen devices instead. This did not come to fruition, and Microsoft eventually cancelled Windows 10X outright in May 2021, with aspects of 10X repurposed for the mainstream Windows 11. Its sister device, the Android-based Surface Duo, was released in September 2020.

Nor should it!!!
You’re banned. Congrats
I’ve quickly learned that Microsoft’s own hardware is the absolute worst at running it’s own software. Well shit maybe not HP but it’s pretty bad.

Fuuuuck
Can we stop with the AI-focused bullshit?
Marketing that is the second place annoyance I have…
Every time I want a new tablet I look at their range and then realise they still have super noisy fans in them… So buy a different product.
They have fans but I wouldn’t describe them as super noisy. I rarely hear my SP8.
TBH, the throttling on the fanless models was a bigger problem.
Yep… until you plug in a dock with 2 external monitors, and then it goes mad 😤
I still want the Surface Neo and wish the Duo had been better implemented. :(

How many times do they have to keep trying to force AI to become a thing before they realise that there’s not much of a consumer market for it?
