I minus about 20% per hour. Brightness on the highest level just before they say "your brightness is affecting battery life"-etc
Wifi on, bluetooth on. I'm sure gps is on or something. When i am doing desktop work, 2hour 40% is norm. light usage is 10%/hr which is approaching the 9hour battery life claim

i5 version.

anyone managed to claim the nakamichi speaker online? it kept saying my request fail, try again -__-

edit: It is fully redeemed -___- but the swensens one is not yet i can't do anything. On firefox or IE browser
I didn't see this promo in oct, i bought in oct leh. sian.

You're not using Firefox or Chrome right? Those things will halve your battery life.

anybody can charge your surface 3 to 100%? Mine only 99% and then it state plugging but not charging.

When we bought our surface 3, did you all register for your warranty? I never...

You should use IE until Google fixes the battery drain issue. I not sure if Mozilla will ever fix theirs.

:s12: thanks a lot, I am using 360 safe browser, seen like the battrery usage is normal now

With the announcement of new Broadwell Mobile processors, hoping for Surface 4 release to follow soon. Would run cooler and last longer. Perhaps slightly bigger in size too. Will be an opportunity for me to upgrade from Pro 1 which is still going strong.

yupp looking forward to what microsoft can do on the next iteration of the surface pro line. maybe slimmer devices since new broadwell cpus doesnt need cooling system! will for sure come at a price though
