I can go full days at the office, programming, without a charger. My old dell xps would crap out after 2 hours, tops. Edit: I would come home with 60% battery left on the MacBook. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] drawerair@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago I appreciate Dave2d's "M2 Macbook air versus Windows" vid.
