My M1 MBP hasn't been able to last over 4 hours since I got it... but for work I have to use Slack and Teams.
If I am on a video call with Teams I am lucky if I get 1.5 hours out of a 100% filled battery, as the Teams "helper" sits at 190% CPU usage during the entire call.
Electron applications are wasting so much CPU time and power.
My personal M1 MBP that I got when it was first released still lasts over 10 hours. I code in VimR with Rust analyzer and compile Rust projects for hours on end. No issues.
Just, no Electron applications and stuff sips battery.
- invalidname 4y agoMine gave me 10 hours easy. With electron slack and other apps. The trick is to kill all Intel apps which you can filter out. Once I do that it just keeps running and remains cold.
- buffington 4y agoAny chance your IT/Infosec team has software running on your work machine? I've seen times when security software will chew up CPU when the machine is idle. That said, my M1 has all sorts of gnarly IT/Infosec stuff running (banking industry) and even that doesn't seem to make a dent in my battery capacity (on top of using several Electron based apps all day long as well).
- ArchOversight 4y agoThere's a ton of that sort of software, but with the upgrade to Ventura they dropped a whole range of them and really pared it down. Much of that stuff doesn't take up a whole lot of CPU anymore.
