I doubt it. They are advertising them as 4-5 hours, so in real world use one can usually half that.

OK, let's think about this for a second. Metro has put in some nice big tiles you can hit with your fist. Good. But after you have actually launched your windows pro app, it's still windows on a tablet. That no one wanted. Until Apple showed the world how tablet computing is meant to be.

The problem is windows8 is trying to be both a tablet AND a desktop OS in one. And that is its failing. iOS and OSX are similar, but different. That is why it works.

And hardly anyone is using it, hence the very low market share. Not sure of the point you are trying to make?
