I'm quite surprised with the battery life numbers they are reporting:
- Macbook Pro Escape: 18.75 hours
- Macbook Pro 13": 15.25 hours
- Macbook Pro 15": 17.25 hours
I've tested both the Macbook Pro Escape and the Macbook Pro 15" and under very light work load (web, email...) I'd say they were closer to 9 and 8 hours, which, by the way, I find pretty decent considering weight and dimmensions.
I really don't know what methodolgy CR uses, but seems to me that is not very realistic.
- lobster_johnson 10y agoA fairly simplistic workload, probably. On my 2015 MBP, I get about 4 hours using nothing but Safari, VSCode, Spotify, Slack and occasionally running build + test of Go code. I briefly owned a 2016 model (but strongly disliked the Touch Bar, so returned it), and I got the same mileage there.
- ncw96 10y agoAccording to this page, Consumer Reports tested this computer at 100 nits brightness, which is 20% of the maximum brightness. This is probably a lower brightness level than the average user, contributing to the battery lasting longer than expected. http://www.consumerreports.org/laptops/macbook-pros-fail-to-earn-consumer-reports-recommendation/ http://www.consumerreports.org/laptops/macbook-pros-fail-to-...
