Hi all,
In regards to the battery life tests, the past using Chrome needs to be changed in my opinion. I know that chrome is the most popular browser right now for most people, however, Chrome is known to sacrifice battery life for extra performance. I would really like to see another browser thrown into the mix, whether it’s Edge, IE or Opera (don’t use their new battery saver, of course that’s going to be great on battery). Ever since Win8, I’ve always seen well over 20% extra battery when using browsers other than Chrome. I know Edge is very buggy at times, but Edge runs two of my Surface’s noticeably cooler even while streaming videos.
Also, I would like to see one other thing tested: Steam Streaming.
To me, gaming on the tablets tested here isn’t really practical for obvious reasons, however, when you’re home but can’t be at your desk, or when you’re remote and using a VPN, Steam in-home Streaming is quite awesome. Using Steam Streaming (Stream a looping benchmark like Valley perhaps?) would be great for both wifi performance and battery life tests.
What do you guys think? Battery life of Steam Streaming would be #1 on my wishlist…
