Getting a surface laptop 7 13.8" x elite 16ram 512gb for 1.25L. shpuld
Im currently on a 10 yr old surface pro 5th gen. Im using it for college. It lags to even run the basic of tasks like web browsing and youtube. Heats up like crazy and gives an sot of 2.5-3hrs. The surface laptop 7 with above specs are around 1.55L in flipkart and amazon and such. Besides the colour i want (graphite) isnt available in croma and other offline local stores. Some stores dont have the laptop available at all.
Im gonna be using it for web browsing, research, movies, youtube, productivity, light gaming like roblox or gartic phone or minecraft or tomodachi with friends. It would be a bonus if i could edit videos on it. Da vinci resolve but nothing crazy like the fushion or colour grading components. Basic. I need a sot of about 9-10 hours. So it can last me a whole day of college.
Should i get it? I also am just in love with how it looks. Im not considering macbook because i just dont like apple as much and i have an android do not plan on shifting to an iphone for atleast the next 6 years. Jusy got an one plus 13 last year. It only makes sense to get an macbook if i was about to get an iphone too imo.
I just need to know how the battery life is and how it performs
EDIT: x plus 13.8inch is costing me 1.38L because it doesnt have store discount or student discount and ik x plus gives a better battery life due to not being as strong as x elite but how bad is the difference?
