Idle power consumption

[amacar]

Hi, my chuwi HI10 uses about 1% per hour even when it is in sleep and doing nothing. I disabled wifi when sleep, but as this is my first windows tablet I am wondering what can I do so HI10 will use less battery when not being used. For example: my ipad air 2 loses about 3% per day when not in use. Of course I don’t want to hibernate my tablet because in that case I need to wait for boot.

Unfortunately, that’s about as good as you are going to get.

The design parameters and architecture of the Windows/Intel platform package come from a completely different design ethos than ARM/iOS/Android world.
The “mobile phone” platforms have been pushed “up” for tablet devices and at the other end with Windows/Intel you have a desktop platform that’s been pushed “down”. In tablet form factor they superficially meet but the thinking and intended usage pattern behind the usage models is very different.

Windows/Intel is, at core, simply not built to be in “always on, but mostly deeply asleep” mode.

(This is not solely a Windows problem, incidentally. Apple OSX versus Apple IOS is in exactly the same position.)

TL;DR
Desktop derived systems and phone derived systems have fundamentally different core design goals and are never going to be directly equivalent, even if there are some surface layer similarities.

Thank you for your answer. I know that there is quite a big difference between ios/android and full windows, I just needed a confirmation that my tablet is not draining to much, so there is not much I can do.
