Testing consisted of full battery discharge with a mixture of active use and modern standby. Testing conducted by Microsoft in September 2020 using preproduction software and preproduction configurations of Surface Laptop Go Intel® Core™ i5, 128GB, 8 GB RAM Microsoft Surface® Edition devices. Surface Laptop Go battery life: Up to 13 hours of battery life based on typical Surface device usage.There is simply no real-world use case where you'd get 13.5 hours of use out of this. This isn't any less accurate than any other OEM claims however, it's the reason that I do my battery testing by doing actual work while not connected to power. Microsoft promises 13.5 hours, an increase of the 13 hours promised with the original Surface Laptop Go. It'll get closer to three hours if you set it to best performance, and close to five hours at recommended power settings. I got around four hours, with a minimum of three hours and 10 minutes, and a maximum of four hours and 30 minutes.

If nothing else, you should be able to see that there are some really significant performance gains gen-over-gen.įor battery life, it's about what I'd expect for something of this size.
