I swear, all Apple cares about is this "thinner and lighter" nonsense. I'd rather have a MacBook Pro that's as thick as the 2015 model, but actually has a long-lasting battery!
Yeah, I've seen it on rMBPs.Does anyone EVER get Apple's advertised battery life?
After 15 years' worth of Apple products I don't think I ever have.
All the apps were closed. Activity monitor also shows a history of the previously opened apps. You need to look at the 'energy impact' column.![]()
There are still 2015 models out there to be bought. I think thats the way to go as of now
Oh sorry, did you look at the cpu tab and show root processes?
I know people complain about the "thinner" obsession a lot, but it really seems like a lot of these "bad news" issues may ultimately be due to Apple's obsession with thinness.
so let me get this straight..... people are complaining that the device doesn't have 32 GB of RAM and are complaining about battery life........ how is that even possible?
Does anyone EVER get Apple's advertised battery life?
The battery in the current 15" is 76 Wh. It's the previous gen that had 99.5.How? The battery life complaint has already been answered. Apple won't put a bigger battery in, as a battery capacity greater than 100 watt-hours wouldn't be allowed on an airplane. The previous gen already had 99.5.
So please, enlighten us: if you can't make the battery bigger, how would a thicker laptop help with battery life? How would 32GB RAM help?
So don't use Chrome but Safari instead. I ditched Chrome the second I got a MacBook Pro (2015 model) because it's a battery killer regardless what generation MacBook (Pro) you have.
