Hello everyone,
I'm trying to decide if I should bootcamp Windows 10 on my 2013 MBA 11" version. The only deciding factor is the battery life. When I had Windows 8.1, the battery life was significantly shortened from OS X, from 10 hours to about 5-6 hours. However, some users reported their 13" version had a very long battery life on Windows 8. So I'm led to believe that it depends on the version of Windows, types of MacBooks, and also personal usage.
I am still curious to know if anyone installed Windows 10 on Macbook Air, or even other MacBooks that have a similar battery life range (~9-10 hours), how the battery is impacted. If it's ~80% from the OS X battery life, I would be willing to go for it, but if it's impacted even worse than that, then I think I will just buy a Windows ultrabook. My MBA is 3 years old, and I am considering upgrading anyway, but not 100% decided.
Any help would be appreciated!
