I was kind of hoping Haswell would boost battery life more than this. The old 15" rMBP was 7 hours, add in Mavericks and you get ~8 hours. The new models, with Mavericks, are only 9 hours.
- magicalist 13y agoYeah, I was thinking the same thing, but the discrete GPU and big dense screen probably start dominating power usage in there somewhere.
- zokier 13y agoYeah, definitely bit disappointing. They are using quite large battery, integrated graphics, and still reach relatively poor battery life. Quick comparison to Air shows that while Air gets 13 minutes/watt-hour (take that SI!) according to the specs, new rMBP gets only 7.5 minutes/watt-hour (both being 13" models). 15" model gets only 5 minutes/watt-hour, but I guess that difference is explained with discrete GPU and larger display.
