Actually I'd depends on the user, it seems PA got better battery life out of the nexus 10 than the iPad

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Google-Nexus-10-vs-Apple-iPad-4_id3197/page/4

"Battery:

Who knows what it’s all attributed to, whether it’s the optimizations found with the dual-core Exynos processor or Android 4.1 Jelly Bean experience, but the Nexus 10 delivers the better battery results. So much so that we’re able to get close to two whole days of normal usage on a single charge – versus the average one-day put out by the iPad 4."

it was clearly mention *NORMAL USAGE vs AVERAGE USAGE * which means they fully didnt test it and the results are in this article . u must clearly understand what they were trying to say . ipads own it , ipad gave better results on what they were expecting ..almost 30-40 more life than others with better permance than others . is it not enough , wat more do u want ?? lags?? . oh wait ipads users dont know wat that is may b u should ask some android boys with BIG SPECS ^;^without optimisation

I think you have an issue there, I can see your argument is about "lag" sorry but I own a nexus 7 and iPad 2 (comparable with iPad mini) and iPad 2 lags, specially with iOS6 updates nexus 7 is a clear winner. My android device still have Lots of things I prefer and you probably jealous of.

All I see here is a fanboy short in arguments to prove something no one even asked for

I agree.
Apple does make better tablets (although I find them useless).

That's battery life over web-surfing, not staring at a home-screen.

I would agree that when it comes to iDevice performance, Apple is always tough to beat. The excuses don't help Android at all. Android devices always seem to match what Apple is currently doing instead of anticipating and exceeding what they will do next. The gs3 and Note 2 seem to be the only devices that have achieved that seemingly impossible goal of outflanking the iPhone 5, but that's about it. The only real problem I see with idevices are the lack of features and the small screens. I think Apple would be unstoppable if they used more added more customization and features and not lock their OS down so much. And would it kill them to throw in an SD card slot? IDevices seem to lag once they have been loaded with books, movies and music.

If I buy the surface pro I will use it as a laptop replacement .
At least the battery life is better than my laptop .
I think the Surface pro should be compared to computer instead of tabs because the internals are real computer stuff

12. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 04 Dec 2012, 10:07 2 0

Agreed, but because it will come in tablet form, most people will still look at it like it's a tablet regardless of it being a more compact computer.

I really love the Surface Pro but the only thing is that it only has 4 hours of battery life.

17. protozeloz posted on 04 Dec 2012, 11:03 0 0

I have it on my nexus 7 And I get around the same time I used to 10+ hours on a single charge and 15% remaining only issue so far is slower charge, u don't use Bluetooth, its a bit dated for me but WiFi is as strong as always try a factory reset and see if that fixes it

19. valapsp posted on 04 Dec 2012, 11:06 0 0

Strange. But about slower charge time u're right.

21. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 04 Dec 2012, 11:17 1 0

Disagree, mine runs about the same. As for charging time, it's always been slow, but when you factor in how long the battery lasts, it's not a problem.
