5-6 hours? In 2025? That's... really bad. My 5 year old Macbook Pro lowest-spec M1 gets at least 10-12 hours of work on a charge and lasts for weeks in sleep mode.
- broodbucket 1y agoI love my Framework but the battery life is indeed horrendous no matter how you slice it. Combine it with the sleep drain and if I use it for a bit then close it overnight without shutting it down it's probably dead by the morning.
- Tade0 1y agoTo me it appears that the screen is a huge power hog - at least in the 16. My idle power consumption at 0% display brightness is around 7.5W, but I've seen people get to as low as 6.5W. Not great, not terrible. With the display at 50% it jumps to the teens(13-17W). Meanwhile the display in the MBP peaks at 6.2W: https://andytran93.com/2021/12/05/power-consumption-implications-of-liquid-retina-xdr-miniled-on-macbook-pro/ https://andytran93.com/2021/12/05/power-consumption-implicat... I guess herein lies their secret sauce - with the rest of the device idling at ~5W total power consumption in this state doesn't go beyond 11W.
- nottorp 1y agoI've seen the whole MBP (not just the display) using just 4.5 W while browsing HN with little else running.
