How does battery life compare to macOS?
How is battery life? I still use MacBooks only because of that
The Mac mini battery life might be considerably lower than the MacBook Pro ;)
I don’t think there is a laptop that comes close to battery life or performance while on battery of m1 macbook proI hate apple but there is obviously something special about it
I can recommend the M1 air which has surprised me the other direction in hardly using any battery while sleeping. The prior Intel macbook used a lot more.
What’s your battery life like compared to macOS?
Don’t iPads get significantly better battery life than similar casual workloads on a similar form factor Intel PC (like a MacBook Air)?
you just cant beat apple silicon battery life
Battery life and silence are no way even close to what the MacBook has when performing the same tasks at the same performance
The overwhelming majority is due to the power management software, yes. Other ARM laptops do not get anywhere close to the same battery life. The MNT Reform with 8x 18650s (24000mAh, 3x what you get an MBP) gets about 5h of battery life with light usage.
