Battery Life Between 13" Pro Models

[Phatalbert1000]

Hey, all!
So apparently the touchbar pro is using a 28 watt chip while the non touchbar version has a 15 watt chip:

Considering this and the fact that the touchbar requires more energy, is the more expensive model likely to have much worse battery life?
Thanks!

In theory, it should.

It also has another fan to run (dual fans on the 28W model).

The battery is ever so slightly larger on the base non-touchbar, too.

I doubt it would be "much worse" but the base should have measurably better battery life.

Good point about the fan. Do you remember where you saw that the battery was bigger on the base model? I was hoping it would be the opposite case

Directly from Apple.com

54.5 W-hr in the base, 49.2 W-hr in the touchbar.

It's a 10% increase in battery size, plus uses less power.
