How To Get The Best Battery Life Out Of Your MacBook Pro
bgr.com • • general
Key Points:
- MacBook Pro models with M-series chips offer impressive battery life, with up to 24 hours of video streaming and 16 hours of wireless web usage, but users can extend this further with certain usage habits and settings adjustments.
- Monitoring energy-intensive apps via the battery icon is recommended, with Safari being more power-efficient than Google Chrome, which drains battery faster due to its multi-process architecture; Microsoft Edge serves as a balanced alternative.
- Keeping macOS updated ensures bug fixes, security improvements, and new features like Low Power Mode, which can significantly prolong battery life when activated.
- Proper hardware care, such as using the MacBook on flat surfaces for better airflow and reducing keyboard backlight and display brightness, helps prevent overheating and conserves battery.
- Adjusting settings like lowering the display refresh rate to 60Hz and setting the screen to turn off quickly when inactive can further optimize battery usage during daily activities.
