    MBP M1 Battery Draining Faster than Expected

    Hi all, Haven't been active on MacRoumors for a very long time so I hope I am posting in the right place. I just bought a MBP M1 base model. Suffice to say that its battery is far superior to my older MBP 13" Early 2015 base model, which requires recharge after every 2-3 hours of normal usage...

    Other What’s your screen brightness set to?

    I have a iPhone 12 Pro and turn auto-brightness off. I typically set mine to about 33% (top of the sun icon) during the day. In the evenings, I lower it to the bottom of the sun icon. In bed, it’s either at the lowest level or I turn on the White Point Reduction setting (I have the shortcut...

    Big Sur Breathing New Life Into 2015 MacBook?

    Hi all So I have the entry-level 2015 12-inch MacBook, and in recent years (and even up to the recent dev betas of Big Sur) it really has been a struggle to maintain some semblance of good performance. I think this was largely due to my use of Chrome and other non-Apple apps, which often...

    12 Mini Users - Normal Overnight Drain?

    Battery capacity details no longer available on M1 Macbooks ???

    It appears the mAh battery capacity information is no longer showing in either System Report nor third party battery apps ? Do you think Apple has purposely hidden this info or is it something about M1 chips that doesn't allow this info to be available ???

    Other Battery - Why does video playback last longer than web browsing ?

    Iphone 12 estimates 17 hours of Video browsing and yet if I get 6 to 8 hours of OST for web browsing, that is considered acceptable. How does video streaming eat up less battery than just web browsing ? I noticed the M1 Macbooks are the same with 20 hour video playback vs 17 hour standard use.
