Every manufacturer has their issues.

My work-issued HP Elitebook randomly decides not to wake my second monitor when it gets docked. I've updated the drivers, replaced the docking station, both monitors, both DisplayPort cables (tried using DVI even), and wiped the device to a vanilla Windows 10 install with a fresh drivers. No dice, still randomly decides not to wake one of my monitors.

On the flip side, the one thing that has improved every work device I've ever used (Surface Book, Lenovo X1 Carbon, HP Elitebook) is... flattening it and doing a vanilla Windows 10 install (no corporate image), installing the drivers manually, and not joining it to Active Directory. Enrolling to Intune instead of the internal AD has made the device so much nicer to use, no idiotic Group Policies mucking up basic operations, and installing everything under the sun and pinning the CPU so hard I could fry an egg on the palm-rest.
