Hi All...
Considering that my SP4 is having battery issues, I am seriously thinking about picking up the SP6 (i5/ 256) within the next few days or so.
I wanted to know what has been your experience with the SP6 battery life. Battery life is important to me as I travel (sometimes) and work remotely (very often). Usually, I am on 2 or 3 Word documents, 2 or 3 PDF documents, Edge (usually) with 4 tabs or so open with sync set to OneDrive, Telegram desktop app open, and I am connected to a WiFI connect on work premises (relatively good) and at home (very good). On my SP4 I get about 2 hr 40 mins, which is totally abysmal.
MS says the SP6 delivers about 13 hours of battery life. But i am guessing this is under very controlled conditions. Even if the battery life is around 8 hours (with the above-mentioned usage), then that works perfectly for me. Standby time is important too, especially when traveling (again, this is something that is horrible on the SP4 - my experience).
Can you guys please give me an insight into your real-life battery experience on the SP6?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Pity about the SP4 though because in every other way the machine seems to be doing fine!!
Edit 2: Picked up the Surface Laptop 2 today. Interesting and new experience!
