A USB hub like

would be useful with the Surface Pro 3.

Back on topic, how is the battery life of the Pro 3 for a typical business user? We're piloting it at my company and, although I'm not part of the pilot, I am wondering how long it lasts. I'm assuming power ports would be a must for most TATL/TPAC, but would it hold up for TCON or MIDCON? Typical use would be wifi, VPN, MS Office, Chrome (or other browser).
