I go about 2-3 days without charging it under moderate (regular) use. While developing (compiling, lots of tabs, etc.), I’ll use about 80% in a day.
For reference, the last zoom call I was on (2 hours) with nearly max brightness only drained the battery ~5%. My Intel MBP would’ve been down at least 20%.
- olyjohn 5y agoI feel like a lot of people are comparing their old Intel machines to brand new M1s with fresh batteries. Of course there will be a drastic difference. Every time I get a new laptop, the battery life is incredible, and then after a few years goes to shit. I'm sure the M1 is generally more efficient, but the difference might not be as big if you compared new vs new.
- barsonme 5y agoFWIW, my comparison was against a one year old MBP. I’ve had a range of MacBooks (2013, 2016, 2020, 2021) and it just isn’t a competition. The M1 is head and shoulders above the other models in battery life.
