Surface Pro - HALF the battery life!?

[Ashley K.]

Half the life? My laptop only gets about five hours anyway and it's ultrabook class. Ultrabook battery life seems to be getting smaller as the actual laptops get smaller.

Smaller body means smaller battery. That's one of the reasons I'm not rushing out to buy an ultrabook. My Asus laptop can get almost 10 hrs of battery life, and it's not that much heavier or thicker than an ultrabook.
