Surface Laptop 3 battery life – an in-the-wild observation

Posted on November 28, 2019 at 05:55 CST by woody • Comment in the Forums

I must be holding it wrong. MS claims the Surface Laptop 3 should get 11.5 hours battery life. I've been travelling in Europe with my new SL3 13.5" and I'm routinely running out at ~3-4 hours of use. This is not really better than ANY Windows laptop I've ever owned.

What gives?
