Bought Surface Pro 11 a couple of months ago (Snapdragon Plus cpu) - love it.

Haven't found an app that wont run yet and I run some unusual stuff - car tuning programs, 3D modelling / printing etc. Even enjoying playing some games on it now and then and it even runs ES-DE / RetroArch (under Vulkan drivers) really well.

Great - I've only used it for work under our BYOD policy for an in person team meeting and it lasted all day inc a 2 hr train journey each way - so about 11 hrs in total, can't recall the remaining. I use it for road tuning my car frequently and a 1hrs drive sees about 10% battery used with constant screen on.

In essence, I just don't worry about battery life with the SF11Pro.

Same as really, I've also got a Surface Pro 11. I don't run anything odd but I've not found anything that hasn't run and I don't even bother taking the charger out with me now. I worked with it connected to a second screen yesterday with the Sky Go app showing the cricket all day on the Surface's screen and still had around 30% left at the end of the work day. Performance has been great. It's finally made the Surface Pro a practical all day machine without the compromise of crap performance and incompatibility from the old SPX or fans going combined with low battery life and crap performance on battery from the previous Intel versions.
 
While I think Lunar Lake is showing better promise due to being x86. I can't find a Luna Lake, 14" laptop, anywhere close in price to a Snapdragon laptop.

I was looking at the Lenovo X5 which can be had for just shy of £600. I really do only need long battery life for document editing for work. Never near a charger for 6+ hours sometimes.
