I've never had any Galaxy Note bigger than the N7000 with 5.3". I didn't see any offset, but on such a small display I couldn't make much use of the stylus and didn't have much options to test it out anyway.
I have less offset on my Dell Latitude 10 without any calibration at all. So it seems to be Surface Pro specific. And since some users claim gigantic offset and others none at all, there seems to be a huge range of precision.
I didn't have this on my iRex units either. And the WACOM graphic tablets are market leader, so I can't imagine it's a general flaw (although many users state, WACOM always would have those problems in the corners).
I'm way above the 30 days period. I've got mine in the very first batch in Germany about 3 months ago.
The inaccuracy only became obvious after having installed the WACOM Feel Driver. Quite frankly, I don't even need that driver. I have no demand for additional pressure sensitivity, so for now I do without the WACOM driver.
But when seeing the enormous offset with the WACOM driver, I've tested the various scenarios: With/without WACOM driver, standard calibration, Feel Driver calibration, numerous XDA calibrations (130 points, 273 points, ...).
And the more I looked into it, the more potential flaws I saw.
Now I've got a good enough calibration. It's only off on the left side (starting slowly 1cm from the left bezel and getting bigger the closer I get to the bezel, eventually being 1mm close to the bezel) and less than 1mm. Even in the upper left corner it's "only" about 1mm. (I easily can compensate this 1mm by holding the stylus slightly different = more perpendicular than usual). I probably even could further optimize it, by being more careful with the 130 points calibration I'm using now and testing the calibrations especially in the upper left corner. But since one rarely needs the upper left corner, I'm fine with this kind of offset. But now I've seen, how inaccurate it's in portrait mode (about 1mm off everywhere). And I don't find any way to optimize this. Not really important, one probably wouldn't use it in portrait anyway. But since I've seen it...
Is yours not off in portrait mode? Is it perfectly calibrated on both modes (landscape and portrait)?
I guess, it's a typical Windows problem: You've got sheer endless options and eventually will stumble into one with problems. Whereas on Android and even more so on iOS, your options are extremely limited. You've got half a dozen applications and that's it.
