Hello everyone,

I was unfortunate to buy the last Intel MacBook Air missing the M1 by about six months or so.

I've had it about a year and a half now but I've noticed the battery life isn't very good at all. It feels like after a couple of hours of use the battery life is down 50%. I have 127 cycles, and a mAh reading of 3559. I was just wondering if this sort of battery drain is normal? I seem to remember in my last MacBook 12" the battery even after 3 years was still pristine. I'm wondering if it might even be worth trading it in for a M1 as in all honesty it feels kind of slow to use too with the fans spinning up all the time?
