surface standby time?

[k999rrl]

I really wana gt the new surface. the main reason i didnt gt the 1st gen is the battery life.
i always see ppl said they are geting around 4.5h but what about stand by time?
sony duo 13 can have 9-10 hours of actual using time which can last me 1-2 full day.
does surface drain battery during sleep? does it have instand on?

thank you

If you put the pro to sleep vs. Hibernate it'll act like instant on

Today my complex had a mandatory power outrage for repairs from 9a.m. to 5p.m. I left for work around 6:30a.m.. at 5p.m. when the power cut back on, it was still at 100%. This was on my pro1. I know pro2 will drain even less on sleep or hibernate.

It will drain the battery a bit during sleep (S3) but I think it takes quite a few weeks to make a significant impact. If you turn it off or hibernate, the only thing you really need to worry about is the self-discharge of the battery. That depends a *lot* on temperature and the battery's condition.

It is not instant, but the Surface Pro boots very fast.
