MBP TB baterry life?

[patriotaki]

Hey all
Whats the battery life on your MBP touchbar 2017?

I have the 13inch 3.1ghz,8gb ram, 256gb, iris 650 one.

I just got it ..does the battery need a warm up ?

Does it hit the 10h mark?

About 5:30 hours.

Compared to my 2014 13 model, it is pretty bad.
Doesn't last through the whole day like the old one did.

With what kind of usage

10h would be pushing it for me. 7-8hr no problem

On my 2017 13” MPB W/TB, I average about 8 hours under moderate use, less with heavy photo editing

Does it matter? I work the same way on 2014 model and new 2017. 2017 lasts way less.
Maybe mine is defective Idk.

I've a virtual box with centos7 running, I use tmux/vim to develop.
Centos7 is running docker with web server inside.

On 2014 model I used to have photoshop too, I ditched that from my workflow. So in essence I don't have heavy apps on 2017 model.

its 1-2 hours shorter than my 2015 mbp. the battery is smaller in the 2016 models and up. unless u opt for the non touch bar one which as a bigger battery

Off topic: Why do you run a CentOS VM with Docker instead of docker on MacOS? I'm a bit new to docker and am just curious.

I have the 2016 TB 13.3. Unplugged at 9am. Back and forth between playing Youtube/Spotify all day through my BT head set. Did some text back and forth. Browsing with 10 tabs open in safari. Battery was at 2% at 7pm. Nothing heavy but it did get me a solid 10 hours today. Brightness is set at 75% btw. Im on 10.12.6 for what its worth.

Many reasons...
One of the biggest is that I like having self contained dev environments.
This is what I came up with: https://github.com/wearede/DevCeption

Idea is to have all your dev tools inside a container that can be created, destroyed, reproduced on any machine without a hit to productivity. I can switch to another Mac or even Windows and be up and ready in no time with my trusted toolset, just doing vagrant up on my DevCeption box.

Another reason is that, "native" docker on MacOS is terrible, it is slow. Page loads range from 10s to 20s for heavy apps.
MacOS doesn't ship with native support for containers like linux does, no cgroups or kernel namespaces. This means docker for Mac is a mere vm (its a stripped down linux) that uses osxfs to haul around files between host and guest OS. osxfs is slow, especially reading vast trees.

My solution eliminates osxfs, as I work directly inside the linux VM that has docker container inside. Giving me speeds comparable to running docker on a bare metal linux.
