How can my current battery capacity be higher than the Original battery capacity? Anyway if you want to know how I keep it at 99-100% battery capacityġ] Set brightness level to the lowest or most comfortableĢ] Turn off Bluetooth/Airport when not in useģ] Try not to use the iSight camera too muchĤ] Try to do activities that will decrease your battery life only when it's plugged inĦ] Keep it plugged in as much as possible, it's okay to use 20-30% of the battery when you're in the bus or in places that has no power adapters. That model gets longer battery life.MacBook Pro :: Current Battery Capacity Status Higher Jun 28, 2010ĭo take a look at my current battery capacity. **Re: HP Spectre x360 14 OLED: HP also offers the Spectre x360 14 with an LCD. *The battery life of the HP Elite c1030 Chromebook was revised (upwards) to 9 hours after further testing, following several Chrome OS updates. Display brightness is typically set at over 70 percent. That’s not the case for more than a few of the latest, higher performance Intel 11th Gen-based Windows laptops, which do get hot to the touch, particularly on the bottom of the chassis.īattery life is based on my usage scenario which includes running Google Chrome with 20+ tabs (the single biggest power drain), Firefox browser, Microsoft Office, Google Docs, social media, YouTube videos (in background playing music), CMS, video conferencing (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams), Apple Music, benchmarking applications, and photo editing. The most the M1 MBP gets is slightly warm when it’s hooked up to my LG Ultrafine 5K monitor in the usage scenario cited above. I’ve never been able to get my M1 MacBook Pro hot. The one area that the M1 MacBook Pro most consistently beats Windows laptops is thermals. It’s spec’d with an Intel 11th Gen Core i7-1165G7 processor and 16GB/1TB. The HP Spectre x360 14 with a high-resolution 13.5-inch OLED display falls a few hours short of the M1 MBP, getting up to 7 hours** of battery life. (As a side note, even with the long battery life, the Elite c1030 is extremely fast due to its brawny specs for a Chromebook: Intel 10th Gen Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD.)

The Dragonfly goes for almost nine hours based on the usage scenario cited below.Ī more recent high-performance Chromebook I’ve been using, the HP Elite c1030, manages 9 hours* of battery life. HP’s ultraportable, the Elite Dragonfly (2.2 pounds), which I tested for months, has battery life just shy of the M1 MacBook Pro.

The Google Pixelbook Go Chromebook, which was released long before the M1 MacBook, maxes out at 10 hours of battery life, which is pretty much identical to the M1 MacBook Pro.
