Surface Pro 11 Battery Issues?
Its been less than one year on my surface pro 11 and i was feeling like the battery was not lasting as long as stated and also lagging at some points. When I did the battery health check it showed that it had dropped around 13% from design capacity. Is this normal and should I get it repaired/replaced under warranty? Its just bit of a hassle as I am outside of the US....
Microsoft surface pro users outside of the US doesnt seem to have the proper support also, no contact and no email response from raising tickets....

I have owned a surface pro 4, 6 and 8. Microsoft has lied on each of these for
battery usage. On all of these I have gotten 3-4 hrs. before needing to plug in. Now
I have been thinking about buying a new pro but looking at the Snapdragon has changed
my mind in that it is probably a good cpu for a phone but not a pc. I think that MS decided
to use this chip is because of battery usage but it doesn't compare to the Intel CPU,s. Many
years ago, I was a Macintosh user but switched to Windows. Now I think I'm going to
try a MacBook Air. I know it doesn't offer a touch screen nor oleg but cpu is much better
and I will not need to plug as often for battery usage.
