There is no such thing as free lunch, more features requires more power, based on my 15 years of experience working with laptops (mostly with PCs), no other PC in the market today can come close to the performance and power consumption ratio compared to the Macbook Pros, you can get a powerful QuadCore notebook but you will get 1 hour of battery life, you can get powerful new core i3s but with crappy plastiky cĪlso battery life as promised/claimed by Apple clearly states that screen brightness set to 50% and light web surfing and editing a text document. Hello All users having problems with battery life, follow the guide as mentioned by Xavier Lanier, make sure to use the gfxcardstatus, this will allow you to explicitly use the Intel HD graphics card for simple task such as Web Browsing and flash viewing, Nvidia cards is more powerful and thus equate to higher power consumption and power drain. It could be that if the other reviewer used the same strategy they would have come closer to Apple’s stated up to 8-9 hoursâ€. So it may be a proverbial apples to oranges comparison. The other review is a little more aggressive with some benchmarking and iMovie editing added to their Internet surfing. The reviewer said they tested by using the Internet nonstop via Wi-Fi. So what does all day†mean? Nearly eight hours! That bests the 17-inch reviewed in the first article cited above by nearly three hours. These are collectively welcome improvements, but are they enough to justify the premium? Yup. So was size the only difference?īest of all, even with the jump from Core 2 Duo to Core i7, Apple has managed to deliver all-day battery life. But over at Laptop Magazine Blog, they are finding that the 15-inch MacBook Pro does have very good battery life along with being a very powerful system.
We already posted that one reviewer didn’t get even close to that with the 17-inch system he looked at. When Apple released their new MacBook Pro line of notebook computers the battery life was touted as up to 8-9 hours.
