>1) I don't notice the battery life being any better (or worse). When I'm just surfing the web / doing emails... it lasts a good 4-5 hours. I always plug in when I'm at my desk and I can certainly go between meetings fine. When I play a video, fire up a game, or do a site crawl (for a 250k+ page site) the battery doesn't last. The old ones didn't either.
That's actually sort of surprising to me, I get like 15-16 hours just web browsing.
- dbg31415 10y agoSorry I wasn't clear -- I always plug it in when I'm at my desk, and I'm hardly ever away from my desk for more than 4-5 hours. So I know it works that long at least. Past that... I mean I haven't deliberately not plugged it in just to test... I got through a movie and a handful of Rick and Morty episodes while on a flight... Drove home from the airport late so I just went to sleep... hit the "Lower Power Mode" warning as soon as I opened it the next day. It wasn't plugged in that night... Battery life seems reasonable. It doesn't seem amazingly better than my old MBP.
