Evening everyone,
Due to an unfortunate circumstance I’ve had recently with a Dell laptop of mine I am currently in the market for a new machine. As my working environment is quite mobile, having good battery life is a must for me. I noticed that the current MacBook Air has a smaller battery by about .4wH compared to the previous model (49.9wH vs 54wH), which is certainly perplexing.
Normally I would have gone with the baseline Air and called it a day, but that’s when Apple up and released an updated version of the MacBook Pro. The Pro has a significantly larger battery at 58wH compared to the Air, but it also has a more powerful processor to boot. Assuming that the load between the two would be similar (writing documents / emails, web surfing, entertainment consumption), would the battery life on the Pro be slightly better due to its higher capacity?
Thanks so much for all of your insight!
