I've always wondered this. For example I can't imagine how they ever achieved their quoted battery benchmarks with system processes running in the background, like indexing. These regularly consumed >50% CPU resources on my older Surface pro even on battery and were not easy to disable (I never did because doing so would cause other problems). But I can't see how you would achieve the quoted battery life without doing so... If they do disable these things in their test, then that's super dishonest.
