The root comment we're replying to here is saying that the previous model Surface was out by 2-4x.
I'm of the opinion that's getting into the realm of impossible numbers, absent evidence otherwise.
If you get it out of the box and it doesn't get what they specify - that's misleading at best, fraud at worst.
The car tests do specify the testing conditions, so I would expect that my car would perform the same under the specified conditions.

And how can we verify that he didn't have some power virus running in the background to generalize that 2-4x claim as being a universal fault with all devices? The manufacturer makes a claim based on a (obviously biased) controlled lab condition. When you use the device outside that lab condition then it obviously won't apply anymore (duh). The manufacturer can't promise an exact battery life on YOUR use case since everyone's use case will be completely different, and once you introduce external apps beyond the manufacturer's own control, then everything goes out the window.
- brokenmachine 2y agoOf course. But if I get a new device out of the box, make no changes, and it doesn't get those numbers, then it's a lie. That's been my experience before (not with a Surface), and it was OP's experience with a Surface.
- Rinzler89 2y agoSure, the question is, have you tested the device fresh out the box and found a 3-4x less battery life than advertised in the same test scenario? I guess that would be fraud, but that depends on what all the fine print on the battery claim states.
- brokenmachine 2y agoPersonally, not 3-4x but I'd estimate 1.5x. But I never did a proper test.
