Apple is the only laptop manufacturer that even gets close to 1000 cycles of great battery life.
- DeliriumTrigger 5y agoIt's nice having a battery when their soldered ssds crap out after 5 years.
- mmastrac 5y agoHonestly, has anyone gotten 1000 out of a MacBook? Mine always goes to "service battery" around 300-400.
- vikbytes 5y agoI got that warning on my Macbook Pro from 2014 after ~820 cycles. So, somewhat close at least?
- Hamuko 5y agoI think I got a pretty high number out of my first MacBook Pro before the battery swelled up like a bad bruise. But my current work laptop is now at 87% capacity with 82 cycles, so I don't have a lot of confidence in the battery lasting to 1000.
- deathtrader666 5y agoI have a "Service Battery" notification since 3 years, still gives me 4 hours.
- w0m 5y agoCan charge while working the machine still? Teams/Docker/etc chugging and charge % steadily dropped irregardless of port/charger used.
- fomine3 5y agoLenovo and other manufacturers provides configuration app to limit State of Charge for battery over a decade ago. Apple just implemented similar feature (but automatic) in 2020. Without that, battery is unnecessary degrading while plugged into AC with 100% SOC.
- ad404b8a372f2b9 5y agoThat's not been my experience, all the Dells I've owned have had great long lasting batteries.
- tinus_hn 5y agoDell batteries last about 2 to 3 years of extensive use, we replace them all the time. They are easily replaceable though.
- w0m 5y agoAs seemingly half my coworkers needed batteries replaced on 2018 macbooks last year roughly as applecare ran out due to not being able to charge and work at the same time.
