I used my Macbook 2017 from 9 am till 7 pm with office tasks (presentations, Word/pages, Teams) and at the end of the work it had still 17% of battery life. 89 cycles and 91% battery life. Guess, buying M2 Air is delayed again :)

It indeed is a great machine with very good battery life. I keep trying to convince myself to go with something newer like the MacBook Air but in the end always come back to my 12” Macbook.

I actually installed in addition Windows 10 Pro on on bootcamp partition on Macbook. Super easy to use Windows apps too because it is Intel machine. Battery life in Windows is also great too, which surprised me.

Interesting... probably it is worth to find such a machine lightly used and buy it for traveling.
