Just wait 6 months or so after release....

For what?

I own a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Book. Both have only been improved through firmware updates after release. There was actually some pain points on the SP3 right around release that caused some headaches.

Generally the Surface products have a poor history of 'working' at launch. The reason for waiting is that the firmware improvements come out before you get the machine.

My Surface Book was a spotchy experience for the first 6 months or so. by month 6 it was running acceptably.
