Microsoft has failed to establish equality between the 4 laptops involved the test.
Were the hard drives exact image copies of each other? It doesn't say.
Where is the control experiment with the exact same laptops executing a battery life tester application or all running the same web browser to establish a baseline difference between the laptops before starting this smoke and mirrors showpiece?
For all I know, the batteries inside each laptop aren't exactly the same quality/capacity. Or maybe MS Defender decided to run a scan in the background on one of them. Or Windows Update decided to run in the background on one or two of them. Or Candy Crush Saga decided to update itself in the background on one of them. Or....
Hell, a better test would have been to use the same laptop for each test. At least the hardware would be the same and the battery capacity/life wouldn't change that much over 4 charge/discharge cycles to affect the test beyond a couple of seconds.
Also, is this test result true for all laptops/battery powered devices, or just this one laptop with certain hardware? Again, it doesn't say.
Useless marketing drivel.
Pretty much the same with all the browsers testing methodology. Right now, the only issue I am having with Edge is, for some reason, video playback is causing some problems with hanging the browser or other such stuff. Otherwise, the thing is stupid fast a fluid. (Could be the browser itself or it could be the NVidia drivers having issues.)
