    Battery life: Pro vs. Air

    I'm planning to buy a new Macbook in the coming weeks. After a lot of doubting I got my mind set on a 13' Macbook Pro - 256gb without Touchbar.

    If I'm charging my 7+ daily, will I need a new battery next year??

    For the past few years I've upgraded each fall. I got my 7+ in Sept. I'm not rushing for the 8/whatever it's called.. so do I need to plan on a new battery soonish? They say 400 charges but I don't hear people complaining they need a new battery every 1.5 years. What does one cost?

    Macbook 2017 M3 vs i5 vs i7 - Impact on battery?

    I'm about to purchase a 2017 Macbook and I'm confused about how the various processor options impact battery life, heat etc. Is anyone with an i7 seeing great (~10hr) battery life? My assumption was that the M3 would offer the best battery life....am I wrong? Thanks!!
