Most laptop and CPU makers encourage you to upgrade your PC because its performance can’t keep up with the latest hardware. But there’s another, more compelling reason that’s largely ignored: Your laptop’s battery life will become significantly worse as time goes by.
How much battery life will diminish depends on a number of factors. But here’s my anecdotal report, based on my day-to-day use: In just a year’s time, my laptop’s battery capacity has dropped by a whopping 16 percent.
That’s a real-life number, based on real-world use. Though I swap back and forth between a number. As our Surface Laptop Studio indicates, it’s an excellent (though pricey) laptop, and perhaps Microsoft’s best.
