Macbook Pro 16 M3 Pro vs M3 Max battery life difference ?

[Micka88]

Does someone have an experience with both to say if M3 Pro has a longer battery life than M3 Max or it is similar ? Trying to decide between both but battery life is an important factor for me. Now I have Macbook Pro 16 M1 Pro.

The M3 Max will have lower battery life due to chip size and power draw when active.

Hmm, even the middle one M3 Max with 14 core CPU and 30 cor GPU would have lower battery life than M3 Pro ? And what about battery life M1 Pro vs M3 Max ? Still M1 Pro better ?

But we can say that M3 Pro is yet more powerful than M1 Max ?

Depends what you do, in pcmag video playback 14” pro lasted 30 hours, max nearly 28h, with 16” were apple allows max to use more power I guess difference will widen, but doing heavy stuff max battery will last even less but some tasks get done much faster, so it all depends
