I went into the office yesterday and forgot my power brick at home. I just got a new MacBook Pro with M2 Max so I figured I'd see how long I could go on battery before needing to borrow someone's charger.
I started the day at 7:30, worked most of the day on it with multiple apps open - Chrome, Safari, Teams, Slack, VS Code, IntelliJ, DataGrip, Postman, Outlook, etc. Connected to a wireless keyboard and mouse, and streaming music to my AirPods for a few hours of the day. Most of my actively used apps were IntelliJ, Chrome, and Teams (admittedly not doing a LOT of building/running Java cause I was resolving build issues for a chunk of the day). I ended the day at 4:00 with 47% battery remaining.
That was unheard of on my last i9 MBP that could barely survive a few hours on battery, even when it was new.
