Microsoft’s claim that Surface Book will offer 12-hour battery
life. The 12-hour claim is applicable only when you use it as a laptop, which
means the keyboard base and the display is connected together. This is because
Microsoft has split the battery between display and the keyboard base. Why
Microsoft didn’t put all the battery in the display itself just like the
Surface Pro 4?, so you can get 12 hours of using in the tablet mode not 4.
The reason behind it is this.
“When you put all that weight in the top of the product, it’s
like 1.57 pounds on the top, so you have to balance that out with base. That’s
the key. Every single trade-off in the product, how much battery you put in,
how much battery you put down bottom, how do we hold to the 12-hour target that
we set?” said Panay. In the end, the battery is split, though not evenly,
between the base and top. The top gets four hours of battery life, and the
bottom gets eight.
So, you get only 4 hours
of battery life with the top. The good thing here is that you can charge the
top separately without the need for the keyboard base. So, Surface Book top can
act as a powerful tablet and can function without the need of keyboard base. Also
if they put the whole battery under the display only, the handling of the
screen will be too difficult because of the heavy weight.
At the end both laptops
surface book and pro 4 are powerful and this issue isn’t that matter because 4
hours battery in the clipboard mode is more than enough at the same time Apple
will release its new versions of iMac and Macbook in this week, so we will provide all the
news soon and stay with ALDIN TECNO to get all what you need about tech.
