welp there you have it the estimated time left is completely infallible and totally linear

here's an idea, point a camera at your 2 laptops you hack

Left out:

"I give the Surface Book the win by a small margin. What's really impressive is the Surface Book does it with a touch-screen which can consume 10 percent of run time and a smaller battery too. Both laptops actually offer fairly excellent run time overall but neither would have hit their rated life for lower-resolution file playback."

yeah this feature no one wants is sucking up power but its a win.

you can use external device keys so you don't necessarily need tpm for bitlocker or w/e and there are alternatives but if you're in a position where you're required to have tpm you've probably got a vendor you're forced to use selling you plastic shitboxes you hate anyway

also if microsoft ever makes a real laptop it will probably have me too butterfly keys but they'll be called dragonfly or dragon wing or something very cool

actually they'd probably be called microsoft™ surface™ flush mount surface-technology™ ultra low profile four point interface keyboard keys for microsoft™ surface™ portable computer devices

BitLocker doesn't require any device at all, just set the group policy accordingly if all you're interested in is password-based encryption
