I have the exact opposite experience. My 2013 MBP can keep its charge for months while suspended/hibernated. My first-gen M1 MBA will deplete the battery in a week under the same conditions.
- FooBarWidget 3y agoMy 2016 MBP drops from 65% to 30% in a month even when it's turned off.
- apexalpha 3y agoMy M2 Air will sit comfortably for weeks with little depletion at all. It's the only laptop I've ever owned where I comfortably walk out of the door without a charger with 35% battery.
- aikinai 3y agoDoes the latter have Power Nap enabled?
- vladvasiliu 3y agoDon't have my MBP (late 2013) on hand to check, but IIRC the power nap was enabled only when plugged in. That's the issue with regular PCs: most don't have the choice anymore to use S3 suspend. They default to "modern standby", the half-assed copy of Apple's power nap.
- mananaysiempre 3y agoIIUC both Intel and AMD haven’t supported S3 on their CPUs for a couple generations now. The functionality is still technically in the firmware, but it’s broken to a varying extent.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoSuspend and hibernate are not the same thing. The latter actually fully powers off the device. As far as the hardware is concerned, it's the same as "shutting down". Windows does a similar thing on pcs with "modern standby": it will switch to hibernation if it's unplugged for a while. I don't know the specifics, but my work pc running windows 11 will be hibernated in the morning if I leave it unplugged going to bed.
