Hey everyone, I’m going to get a Macbook soon. Since this is my first Mac machine I’ve been doing some research, and as if there weren’t enough things to be aware of I found out about Battery Cycles
Now I’ve been doing some research about the topic and found out that quite a handful of people use the app Al Dente. Now from what I’ve seen the people that use that program usually have their Macbook plugged in non stop, so the app just sails between 80% and 75% (apparently the best for the battery?), occasionally doing a full cycle in order to recalibrate the battery.
Now my question is this, if my Mac isn’t always going to be plugged in (I’ll be taking it to classes, and some other stuff that I need it for), will Al Dente work? Or more importantly how should I set it up to best fit my needs? Should I be leaving the house with it at 80%?
(I am getting a MBP M3 14” 18gb 1tb, 12core cpu if it is important)
