Seven years later, I bought a new MacBook. For the first time, I don't love it
&quot;8-9 hours with all apps closed except Safari. Browsing lightly, with an occasional video, and brightness at the literal minimum. This brightness level is only realistic if it&#x27;s night time. In a normally lit environment you need to set the brightness level at around 50%.&quot;<p>&quot;When I push the laptop a bit more, with a few Docker containers, Pycharm running, Google Chrome with some Docs opened, and brightness near the maximum, I get around 4 hours.&quot;<p>Honest question for those of you who have Dell XPS 13s, ThinkPad X1 Carbons and so on, what battery life are you getting? Dell for example advertises 12 hours. Are these figures realistic?<p>Are MacBooks not the battery champs anymore?
