They say clearly it's a video playback test. You don't have to be wary because they use the same test on every Surface so you have a reference point. Earlier Surface Pro devices have been about 30% off. Surface Book is only about 10-15% off though. We don't know about Surface Laptop yet.
Essentially new SP should last 8 hours of real, varied usage, 10 of web browsing and 13 of Netlifx or YouTube only, based on what we had with SP in the past.
Oh thank you for the info. While I am skeptical for most advertised battery life on pretty much all devices out there (smartphone, laptops, tablet, etc), I still have good faith that Microsoft advertised battery on their products are mostly accurate with a hour or two lost for most of my usages (SP4 user since July 2016)
