What about efficiency and battery life?

Considering Qualcomm's Snapdragon X/X2 platform continues to offer superior battery life in laptops we test, I don't expect the Surface Pro for Business (12th Edition) to be the more efficient laptop. I'll update this comparison once we test it first-hand, but for now, I wouldn't recommend buying the new Surface Pro for Business (2026) with the assumption that it will run longer between charges.
