Surface Pro 7 (i7, 16GB, 512GB) - Battery Life?

Anonymous

I picked up a Surface Pro 7 on launch but I'm really struggling with the battery life, with light usage (a few office apps and a few tabs in Edge) I'm struggling to get more than 5 hours, even with Battery Saving mode on, brightness at around 20-25 and nothing running the back ground.

I've updated everything to it latest version, surely I should be seeing better battery life than this?

    Hey,

    I just bought the Surface Pro 7 i5 128gb version. This is my first Surface and I absolutely love it. But the problem is, I am also struggling to get more than 5 hours of battery life with just surfing on edge and using Microsoft word mostly. I downloaded the latest firmware and drivers but nothing has changed. I wanted to try the solution you posted but wanted to make sure, does the HD video have to be downloaded on the surface or can I play one from online? If the battery life doesn't improve I will most likely have to return this and go with something that gives me a bit more.

    Battery seems to be better after uninstalling those updates.  I'll monitor it before going through all those steps.
