I always read about battery testing, etc., and people always estimate battery life with the display running at 50 percent brightness. Other people talk about 80 percent brightness and whatever, and I'm over here going, WHAT?
I've been rocking all my Macs at 100 percent brightness since the old PowerBook G4 days, which was my old work computer and my first real exposure to Apple. Since then I've owned a 2008 unibody MacBook Pro 15", an 11" MacBook Air, a Mid-2012 rMBP 15", a 2015 rMB, a 2016 tMBP 13" and a 2017 tMBP 15", and I rarely, if ever, turn the brightness below 100 percent.
I do design work, photography work and some video stuff, so I guess maybe I want to make sure I can see the detail when I'm working with files. Am I the crazy one, or are there a bunch of us hiding in the shadows ... er ... brightness of our computer screens?
