Hi Rahul,
I have been using a Microsoft Surface Laptop, and my experience so far has been quite promising. In my usage, the battery generally lasts more than four hours of continuous use, and during conferences or long meetings it has comfortably supported my work through most of the day. In addition to the battery performance, I have found several other advantages with the Surface Laptop: It is lightweight and easy to carry, which is very helpful during travel or conferences. The build quality and keyboard are quite comfortable for long hours of work. It works smoothly with screen readers like JAWS, and overall performance has been stable in my experience. Of course, battery life can vary depending on usage, applications, and settings, but in my experience JAWS does not necessarily restrict battery life to only 2–3 hours, as is sometimes assumed. Please feel free to connect with me if you would like to know more about my personal experience with the device.
