My wife and I have identical refurb Air 2012s, I bought mine with Mavericks, hers came with Yosemite. There's maybe a 6 month difference between them.
My battery life way better than hers. I'd suspect hardware, but the battery capacities check out ok. Hers just sucks the juice way faster than mine.
- spike021 11y agoOdd. I'm guessing you both use them fairly similarly? I'm not saying Yosemite is perfect; I'm sure there were problems with it at the start. To me, the original person I responded to seemed to kind of just make a blanket statement and I wanted to make sure it was known that there are counter-examples (based on anecdotal evidence anyway).
- pbreit 11y agoI'm not sure comparing refurbs is the best idea. While they do come with new batteries (I think), who knows what else could be quite different.
- wiredfool 11y agoThat would be a good question. They're identically spec'd machines of roughly the same age with batteries that are within 1% full charge capacity. They re both on the same wifi, Bluetooth is off. Display brightness varies, but neither is cranked, I'm not sure what else hardware wise could be seriously different. The biggest difference is the os. I will concede that usage varies, hers hits Facebook, mine Twitter. And I run virtualbox but she doesn't. We're both running safari, chrome and mail.
