Windows Central Question

Hey Everyone,

So yesterday I purchased the new Dell XPS 13 Touch 256 GB version. I have come to understand according to review videos that this version actually gets 7-8 hours of battery life. However, after testing it various times, my laptop gets about 5.5 hours of battery life.

My main question is, how come when I hover the mouse over the battery icon, does it sometimes vary between for example "85% 2 hours remaining" or "85% 4 hours remaining"--it's never accurate and always changing. Is there a way to trouble shoot this? Should I go back to the Microsoft store and exchange the unit?

Thank you.
