    I agree that it is annoying and misleading. I guess the question is whether or not other similar laptops actually get their full stated battery life when in full use or not. In my experience they are typically overstated by 20-40%. If you get a new laptop with Windows 10 and Skylake, please let us know if the grass is greener on the other side!

    After installing the new drivers I have 1,5h in Tablet Mode and 4h with keyboard. I discussed with MS and they reinstalled drivers via remote. Still bad - I will ask for returning the device today
