Yesterday evening was the first time I spent a prolonged period using it and I have to agree. When It was charging, it was definitely warm, but not hot. I noticed the battery life was atrocious. I began using it after 6pm connected to an external monitor (surface screen also on) streaming videos and browsing the web on the surface screen. By 9:30, the battery was at 4%.
Tell us there's something we can do.... ha ha
