    I am also wondering how all the professional reviewers get 10-1 hours and the normal user gets 5-7.....

    I having same issue here, I read all the review Surface Book and they said they got 12 or more than 12h battery life so how did they get more than 12h???when my Surface Book or most other Surface Book user here had same issue, for me I lucky enough to get 7h battery life. I'm kinda upset because I want to work with Surface Book all day without touching the charger. 

    Microsoft support team where is Power saver mode in Battery plan option, the only thing I saw so far is balance mode with is not helpful to the battery life even I turn on Battery saver mode it still not helping me getting 12h battery as the Surface book promise in the ads.

    In the search window type "nividia control panel". From there you can choose intel HD, auto-select or NVidia.

    Guys you need to give it a few days to calibrate. I am getting ~ 4 hours the first day or two because all the file synchronization and indexing. Now it is 5 hr remaining at 50%. I set my display driver to intel HD 520 only. Have not tested auto-select. I would expect that will decrease battery life by a couple of hours.
