I am considering a 13 inch Macbook Pro 2018, and want to choose the type of processor (i5 or i7) and memory (8 or 16 GB) for getting best battery life. I haven't found any review on how the type of processor and memory would affect battery performance. Could someone help?

I think the nTB might get slightly better life but battery life is such a hard thing to quantify.

If it were me, I would get the i7. I like the theory of the faster CPU gets its work done faster and then sleeps.

I really wish Apple would offer a low power cpu option for kick ass battery life. Not everybody needs constant massive cpu.
