M2 Macbook Pro Has Incredible Battery Life As Reviewer Purposely Tries To Drain It Faster But Ends Up With Runtime Of 16 Hours

Apple’s transition to custom chips for its Mac lineup means users would no longer have to worry about terrible battery life, and the M2 MacBook Pro delivers on that front exceptionally. Proof of its endurance lies when a reviewer intentionally tried to drain the battery of the portable Mac, but it ended up giving her a runtime of more than 16 hours. This means that you can actually use the machine the entire day and not have to worry about it powering off due to a low charge.

To test how long the M2 MacBook Pro can remain powered on, The Verge’s Monica Chin was adamant about stressing the notebook’s battery by running programs that she normally uses regularly. This included a combination of Spotify, several browser tabs, an opened Google Doc, and more.

Monica started the test at 8 PM, claiming that the Gigabyte Aero 16 with its humongous 99WHr battery would have almost powered off by 10:30 PM. Keep in mind that the Aero 16’s cell is significantly larger than what the M2 MacBook Pro houses, costing a whopping $4,399 for the model she reviewed.

After a good 16 hours, 30 minutes, and 39 seconds, Monica says that the M2 MacBook Pro finally went offline in the middle of a music video. While this was an initial test run, those numbers are downright incredible, but she may have a more accurate result after a few discharge cycles.
