Owners of Microsoft's Surface Pro 2 tablet have noticed a considerable increase in battery life following a firmware update.
While the SurFace Pro 2 already considerably improved battery life over its predecessor, the firmware update has pushed it even further with up to 20 percent extra battery life being reported. Of course it depends on what you are doing with the tablet that will determine the change.
