[1] Based on local video playback test. Testing conducted by Microsoft in May 2026 using preproduction software and preproduction Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch (8th Edition) with Snapdragon® X2 Plus 16GB, 512GB and Surface Laptop, 15-inch (8th Edition) with Snapdragon® X2 Elite 16GB, 512 GB devices. Testing consisted of full battery discharge during video playback of a .mov file through the Windows Media Player application in 1080p at 24 FPS. All settings were default except screen brightness set to 150 nits with auto-brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.
[2] Based on a web browsing test. Testing conducted by Microsoft in May 2026 using preproduction software and preproduction Surface Laptop, 13.8-inch (8th Edition) with Snapdragon® X2 Elite Plus 16GB, 512GB and Surface Laptop, 15-inch (8th Edition) with Snapdragon® X2 Elite 16GB, 512 GB devices. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while accessing twelve popular websites over multiple open tabs through the browser. All settings were default except screen brightness set to 150 nits with auto-brightness disabled. Wi-Fi was connected to a network. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.
