Tell us about your legendary M1 MacBook Air/Pro battery life so far.

what seems to kill my Intel MBP battery is streaming in a browser with a DAC connected (USB powered). Anyone tried that here?

Still can't believe how good the battery life is on my M1 MacBook Pro, third day of usage, smashing safari, benchmarks, watching videos, 4K videos, just hit 50%

My 2016 13" pro would of needed to be charged twice by now.

Apple silicone is a breath of fresh air, absolute game changer.

How's everyone else finding battery life? ?❤️?

Mine has been genuinely surprising. What I will say is that I have circa 150,000 photos in iCloud Photos, so the Photo sync process was running in the background for a couple of days using significant energy. But still, on the first couple of days I'd be sitting at 50-60% battery where normally I'd have to charge it.

Since Photos finished synching, its almost unbelievable how long the battery lasts. I was sitting doing 5 hours of work last night and the battery barely moved.

Not wrong, this machine is a battery king, last full charge was on Saturday, tomorrow morning will be a week since I've put my MacBook Pro on charge, still have 44% battery left, approaching 7 hours usage, using safari, watching 4K videos, by now I would of charged my intel MacBook Pro 4-5 times already.

would any of you with the M1 MacBooks mind please sharing shots of your Energy app list, i.e. this (from my i7 MBP):

Why isn't the screen on usage histogram individual bars clickable to give minutes like the iPhone ?
