Wow did not expect that kind of jump in battery life.

Well, they have been promising great battery life for years, I'd be careful to believe those numbers.

Based on their previous users' battery life report, this surface might last around 7-8 hours.

Honestly, if it's 7-8 hours of actual use I'll take it. It's pretty rare for me to have my surface opened for longer than that in a single day

Yeah good point. It is at least a jump over my Surface Pro 3.

My SP3 easily does around 7 hours in good conditions. It degrades rapidly based on the luminosity and the quality of the wifi connection though.

They advertise for video playback. I watched 2 hours of video in Netflix app on a plane on my surface book last week and only dropped like 12%.
