In theory the Surface Book sounds like a great device for me (I like having the full laptop use, but I enjoy using a tablet on the couch/in bed,) but I am definitely a bit worried about that alleged 3 hour battery life of the tablet.
I guess we'll just have to see because we don't truly know where that # is coming from and if it's the typical statement of battery life and 3 hours really means closer to 1.5, or if people are just kind of spit-balling due to the batteries that are inside.
Regardless, I would really hope at the very least the 3 hour mark is accurate and if anything you can get more than that if you turn the brightness down, adjust other power things like resolution, etc.
If the tablet truly only does get like an hour and a half of battery....it's bordering on useless. You have to factor in that you're not ALWAYS going to be pulling the tablet off of the dock at 100% tablet battery life, so this is going to be something that you would have to constantly manage if you actually care about using it away from the dock on a daily basis.
It looks like a great device overall, but that 3 hour battery life statement needs some real world usage.
