Regarding the non upgradable battery, one thing a lot of people don’t know is that you can charge your MacBook with a USB power bank. The typical phone power bank only puts out 10W, but this is usually enough to maintain the internal charge while you use it on an Air, and to at least very significantly extend the lifetime on the Pro. This has come in handy for me on a long flight where I unexpectedly didn’t have power at my seat.
- kube-system 4y agoFor a little bit more money, there are a good number of of power banks that output just as much as normal Air wall charger.

- jrmg 4y agoThis is actually enough to power the laptop and trickle charge! I’ve had a M1 Pro and now have an M2 Air plugged into my weirdo USB-C monitor that only provides 15W power(!), and unless I’m heavily compiling all day (like change-compile-change trial-and-error), the laptop does slowly charge. Even on the heavy use days its never actually run all the way down.
