As the subject line says — with generally normal use (Internet browsing, emails, occasional QEMU virtualization), my laptop's battery seems to run out quick. IE, down to 40% at around 6:30pm after being fully charged at 9am. Is this normal?
60% battery drain after 9.5 hours is probably about right for the M3 MacBook. I imagine the virtualization is a bit more taxing than the other areas but doesn’t seem out of the ordinary to me.
