Are any others who have ordered the 14" M1 Pro a little irritated the 16" gets better battery life?

It’s not like they changed that fact on you - it was up front.

Mentioned several times in this thread that I missed that part.

Sorry! I didn’t read them all sorry to bug.

I ordered the 14 and I’m sad that it’s lower than the M1 MBA - the thing that I appreciate though is that this gets the same specs as a 16” for a change. No concessions on power. That’s huge for me.

Those who are upgrading from the m1 machines last year are already losing enough battery life as it is and now it is being reported the 16" gets even better battery life than the 14".

Thermodynamics is life.

Then their info is incorrect. That being said, looking at all the 16" M1 Pro and M1 Max entries on everymac, they all show "100 W h Li-Poly" for the battery capacity so maybe they have subsequently updated it to the correct value of 100 watt-hours.

Apple's tech specs also state "100-watt-hour lithium-polymer battery" with the fine print being "99.6 watt-hours"..

makes sense since my 2019 16" has the same. I was suprised they went smaller.

I almost cried but realized I can just plug it for 30min. and be on my way again....

It didn't work that way with the 15.4" 2019. It gets worse battery life than any MacBook I have had in quite some time. So keep on being condescending.

That’s because they weren’t comparable models. 15.4” models had beefier CPUs which consumed more power. Now they have the same chips.
