At this point it seems "My MBP 15" has sucky battery life" or "The new MBP sucks!" is a karma gold mine -- I actually own a tbMBP 15" and haven't had any battery nor functionality issues with it. It's an all day programming device for me and suits that purpose very well.
- izacus 10y agoWhole day? How many hours of running battery do you consider whole day? My 15 dies somewhere between 3 and 4 hours (Java/C++ dev) and the lack of battery capacity is very noticeable (previous 15 with nVidia ran for about 5 hours)
- iwritestuff 10y agoI program in eclipse and get all day battery life.
- alfalfasprout 10y agoI'm just using vim and spotify and get like 4 hours of battery life. I really do think some MBP's have faulty batteries and it's not a software issue. My 13" 2014 MBP gives me 7+ hours under the same workload.
- iwritestuff 10y agoDo an exchange. I program using eclipse and get all day battery life.
- alfalfasprout 10y agoSure, but I'm not a masochist :P
