Why would you even care about battery life in a situation where you plug in your device to a monitor that requires a power outlet anyway...
To me, it's always going to be a pointless idea to try to make a phone/tablet act as a desktop - what's the point? If you need the space for a monitor + keyboard, you can just as well have a small desktop unit driving them, and then you get to use your phone/tablet and desktop independently of each other - what benefit is there of combining both in the same device, with one CPU? Oh sure, you'll have all your files on the same mini-sized SSD... but you could just sync your mobile storage with your desktop HD... and that's the way it is with every possible benefit, any benefit you could get from using phone/tablet as desktop could be got even better with a separate desktop + phone/tablet that syncs up & communicates with it.
