  • Apple working with Consumer Reports on MacBook Pro battery findings, says Phil Schiller

    brainsbrains
    Thursday I get to work, flip open my new 15" MBP+TB, and notice two things:
    1. I'm at 66% battery after working a few hours the previous evening
    and
    2. I forgot my charger at home.

    So, I tell my staff I will probably leave work early when my battery dies, and finish up the day from home.  What ended up happening?  I went home at 5:00 with 10% remaining.  I had two mail clients, Safari, Terminal and Xcode open pretty much all day.

    There is so far only one thing I've found which will burn through battery like a fat kid through cake:  Windows 10 running in VMWare Fusion.  I avoided that one on Thursday.
