I've been averaging about ~15 hours per charge on my 13" MacBook Pro M1 so far. That includes compiling/running tests/and not just web browsing/checking mail.

- Rillen 6y agoIts such a hard comparision though. You are running the newest of the newest. My Lenovo Thinkpad X390 which i'm sitting on right now for a while, still has ~8h left to go. Chrome with 30 tabs, intellij etc. open and running. I do assume the M1 is doing a great job, don't get me wrong, but i would like to see a more objective comparison. Personally speaking, the most interesting thing for me to see is that Apple now put a very strong SoC on all its models. From Air to Pro, with a relative good price point (as long as you don't upgrade anything...)
- dr_zoidberg 6y agoGoing by TSMCs claim of 30% better power consumption at iso-speed would put the battery of the G14 at 11-12 hours. So that places the Apple system on a 25-36% better battery range, instead of 80-100%. And still, there are more catches: Apple is probably driving the screen at 60Hz instead of 120Hz for the G14, and the screen tends to be one of the main drivers of battery life. What I'm trying to say is that the talks revolve around the M1 vs x86 for battery consumption, but the big savings can probably come from other components in the system.
