Apple's 10 hour battery life estimate assumes that you are just browsing the web. If you want to do "pro" activities put the CPU/GPU under any sort of sustained load, the smallness of the battery will become apparent very quickly (see for instance http://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/11/review-cheapest-2016-ma...)
Estimated battery life is quite bad for it. This is I'm assuming the base configuration with 16gb ram, so if you jack that up to 32 or 64, battery probably drops significantly more.
It's these details of actual use that drive me to apple, as I've tried thick, full of ports, jacked up laptops with touch screens and in practice they almost always never work well.
