What are you doing that depletes the battery so fast? I have a 2012 13" MacBook Air which lasts 8-9 hours. My typical use is: display set to 50% brightness, WiFi turned on, mostly using Adobe CC apps.
- jrobertfox 13y agoI think those numbers are full brightness. Maybe 2012 is better, this was mid 2011.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoAh yes, that does matter. My 2012 MBA has a better battery life than the 2011 MBA, and this year’s MBAs in turn have way better battery life than my MBA. It also matters a great deal whether you have the 11" or the 13" model (which has way better battery life). http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/macbook-air-faq/macbook-air-mid-2011-real-world-battery-life-core-i5-core-i7.html http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/macbook-ai...
- dagw 13y agoThe 13" has a lot better battery life than the 11" and the 2012 has a lot better battery than the 2011. I get 3-4 hours out of my 11" 2011 MBA.
