It's 20% shorter with the i7 + 4K XPS they've used for their comparisons, that's a fair amount. You can presumably get that back with the i5 model, but then you're not twice as powerful.
Makes me want to get the latest XPS even though my 2015 model is still going strong.
Also note the 2019 Air they've got has a smaller battery again (49.9Whr).

The battery life gains in Macbook Air might come from the different series of processors used, rather than from the battery itself: > The MacBook Air has Core i5 and i7 processor options, but they're part of Intel's "Y" series of CPUs, intended for thin laptops. They generate less heat and use less power, so you get longer battery life. The flip side is they're not as fast as a standard laptop with a "U" series processor.
- kingosticks 7y agoSure, it's certainly mostly due to the Y-series CPU. I'm just pointing out that difference in the 2019 model compared to the 2018 model that was mentioned in the parent comments.
