I currently have an i7 Surface Pro 3 and have never been able to get decent battery out of it. With the screen at 100% and just browsing the web with a few tabs open the fan will always kick in noticeably and i'll get between 2 and 3hours of battery life. If I turn the screen down to 50% i'm pushing 4 hours.
My question is now that there is a new cooling system in the Surface Pro 4 and I hear that the fan doesn't kick in as often does that mean I am going to be able to get closer to the 7-9hrs that the reviewers are quoting? Has anyone seen any reviews or information that could shed light on this?
If so that would be a reason for me to upgrade, but if the screen and new processers cancel out the fan battery life benefits i should be in the same 2-4hr battery life boat which is a real shame.
