| Battery life is a big question mark for the MacBook Pro |
Apple has unveiled a new version of its portable MacBook Pro, the new version brings a host of improvements, as well as a new design for the common edge on the iPhone, as well as the latest and greatest chipsets M1 Pro and M1 Max.
For any laptop, battery life can be one of the most important factors. Apple seems to be very optimistic about this. As the manager said at the event, the 16-inch version of the MacBook Pro is the best when it comes to battery life.
However, Apple relies on a very strange criterion to explain the MacBook Pro battery quality, which is the number of hours of video playback. The company said that the 14-inch version of the MacBook Pro supports 17 hours of video playback, while the 16-inch version lasts 21 hours.
Experts believe that relying on criteria such as the number of hours video content is played is an inaccurate measure of laptop batteries. That's what Apple said, the estimated time is the length of time the content will be played through the Apple TV app.
In fact, modern processors have parts dedicated to playing general visual content without consuming power. Hence, some people think Apple is bragging about it. Newer versions do not provide an actual measurement of battery power.

Internet browsing tests show that using Wi-Fi to browse 25 popular websites on the new version of Apple PC consumes a lot of power. This is due to the dependence on the brightness level 8 inches.
This is because the 16-inch version with the new processor could not beat the MacBook Air with the M1 chip. And the battery life is 14 hours while the MacBook Air is 15 hours.
The results were published by Apple itself. Which mainly relies on its Safari browser for benchmarking, not the more popular and performing Google Chrome browser.
Speaking of numbers: The 14-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 70Wh battery. 16 inch version with 100 watt battery. But overall, the battery performance of the new computer is better than the Intel version. But this is just an exaggeration by Apple.
Apple used the same technique last year. Compare the new M1 chip and the Intel processor designed by ARM with the old design.
